The Field of Excellence Climate Change Graz is offering 5 post-doctoral fellowships at University of Graz, Austria, for 3 months. Dates for stays can start as early as June 2023 or latest in March 2024, but ideally run from October to December 2023, in order to encourage collaboration among the fellows. The fellowship will cover costs of travel, housing and subsistence up to € 8,000 in total. Fellows are responsible for their own insurance, which should be covered for EU citizens by their insurance in their country of employment, but is also quite affordable for those abroad. The program will assist in finding suitable housing close to the university.
The program is designed for PostDoc researchers (up to 5 years after receiving their PhD; applicants after their submission of their PhD thesis can be considered as well) from all academic fields working on climate change - including philosophy - who wish to collaborate with one (or more) of the research groups of the Field of Excellence Climate Change Graz (https://climate-change.uni-graz.at/en/research-fields/). External candidates are strongly encouraged.
Participants will work under the direct mentorship of an experienced Uni Graz scientist in a unique inter- and transdisciplinary research environment. The research stay should be focused on a specific project, e.g. a joint research program, paper, or grant proposal. Fellows will have the opportunity to build up contacts for future collaboration within the Field of Excellence Climate Change Graz's international network.
While the call is open for all topics of climate change – including improved understanding of the processes of climate change, observed impacts and projected risks for natural and human systems, questions of mitigation, adaptation and resilience, or related ethical and legal dimensions – we are particularly interested in contributions to the following interdisciplinary research field, among others:
• Interdisciplinary Approaches for Assessing the Fair Allocation of Benefits and Burdens of the Transformation to Climate Neutrality, see Research Group Economics of Climate and Global Change and Working Section Moral and Political Philosophy (EconClim Research Group - Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change (https://wegcenter.uni-graz.at/en/research/econclim-research-group/) and Projects - Section Moral and Political Philosophy and https://philosophie-gewi.uni-graz.at/en/section-moral-and-political-phil...)
• Intertemporal Dimensions in Climate Litigation, see Research Center ClimLaw: Graz and Working Section Moral and Political Philosophy (Research Center ClimLaw: Graz (uni-graz.at) and Projects - Section Moral and Political Philosophy (https://climlaw.uni-graz.at/en/ and https://philosophie-gewi.uni-graz.at/en/section-moral-and-political-phil...)
Applicants can choose to work with two research groups and should indicate their preferred host. We encourage contacting the research group representative(s) who you would like to choose as your host before submitting your application.
All fellows will need to be present at University of Graz, Austria (i.e. no working remotely) for the full duration of the fellowship. Ideally, the fellows will start in October 2023, but earlier or later starts will be possible if agreed upon with the host and coordinator of the program.
The University of Graz strives to increase the proportion of women in scientific positions and therefore encourages qualified women to apply.
Applications process
Applicants are required to submit a 2-page research proposal for the work they intend to conduct during their fellowship. In addition, a short motivation letter (stating your preferred host and indication of interdisciplinary linkage you want to deepen) and a CV with a complete list of publications is required. Please provide contact information for three people that could give recommendations, but do not include reference letters in the application as these will not be considered.
Applications to the 2023/24 program are possible until 15h April 2023 by sending their application material to harald [dot] stelzer [__at__] uni-graz [dot] at (midnight CEST). Online interviews with the most suitable candidates will be held by an interdisciplinary selection committee in late April and beginning of May, so that the decision is available in mid May 2023.

The Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University invites applications from a broad range of researchers and practitioners who will work over the course of the year on pressing issues in ethics. Faculty in arts and sciences and professional schools, postdoctoral scholars, practitioners, and researchers from industry, government, and NGOs are eligible to apply.
For the 2023-24 academic year, the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics will continue its focus on the theme of “A New Social Compact?” Variations in national responses to the pandemic; disparate experiments with technology, economic, and health policies; and conflicts over foundational political institutions have thrown into stark relief different conceptions of the social compact (a phrase we use loosely to refer to shared understandings of what members of societies believe they owe to each other) around the world. Myriad challenges—including challenges relating to education, climate and the natural environment, migration, new technologies, public health, elections, racial justice, and economic well-being—call us to revisit and evaluate existing conceptions of the social compact at both national and global levels. We ask, is it time for a new social compact?
We invite applications connected to any dimension of this broad field of inquiry. We see the nature of the questions raised and the challenges to be addressed as so multifaceted as to make this theme not very restrictive; however, in our usual fashion, we will also consider applications that fall outside the parameters of this thematic description. All eligible applicants are encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to early career scholars and practitioners.
Fellows-in-Residence will be expected to devote the majority of their time to their individual projects and to participate in regular work-in-progress seminars. In addition, Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in the Center's programming, which includes public lectures, themed seminars and reading groups, conferences, workshops, and lunch discussions.
This Fellowship is intended to be residential. With the exception of travel to conferences and meetings, Fellows are expected to be in residence in the Boston area at least four working days per week during the term.
For the last few years, the Center has offered the possibility of joint fellowship opportunities with several other Centers at Harvard. We continue to offer that possibility, with specific potential affiliations to be worked out on a case-by-case basis:
* Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University
* Carr Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School
* Center for Bioethics at the Harvard Medical School
* Center for Research on Computation and Society at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
* Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University
* Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at the Harvard Law School
Applicants will be invited to indicate on the application form whether they wish to be considered for a joint fellowship position with one of these Centers. If selected, the joint fellowship will offer access to development opportunities and programming at the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics and the partnering center.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must have a PhD, professional degree, or a minimum of 5 years of equivalent professional experience by the start of the fellowship year. Applicants from any discipline or professional field will be considered. Those who have previously held a yearlong residential Fellowship at the Center are not eligible; this limitation does not apply to former Undergraduate Fellows or former Graduate Fellows. The Fellows-in-Residence Program runs the course of the academic year, typically from the beginning of September through the end of May, and is open to all applicants who meet the above criteria, regardless of citizenship.
