in Ethics of Science and/or Philosophy of Science

starting April 1, 2020, within the Graduiertenkolleg (research training group) GRK 2073 “Integrating Ethics and Epistemology of Scientific Research”.

The appointment will be for 4.5 years. The positions will be filled as 100% Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in positions on salary scale TV-L 13. (This amounts to a monthly net salary roughly between 2250 and 2550 €, plus benefits such as health insurance.) One of the positions is expected to be located at Leibniz University Hannover and the other one at Bielefeld University.

GRK 2073 “Integrating Ethics and Epistemology of Scientific Research” is a research training group that is established as a joint project by Leibniz University Hannover and Bielefeld University. It is funded by the German national funding agency (DFG). Its research program aims at bridging the gap between practice and theory in the philosophical investigation of scientific research in two ways: firstly, it examines new connections between practical philosophy of science (ethics of science, political philosophy of science) and theoretical philosophy of science (epistemology, metaphysics); secondly, it analyzes relevant links between the material culture of the sciences (objects, equipment, experiments, practices) and the cognitive dimension of the sciences (theories, hypotheses, discourses, models). The working language of GRK 2073 is English.

Applicants should be fluent in English and must hold a PhD in philosophy or HPS (or a similar program). They should have completed their doctoral research on a topic from philosophy of science and/or ethics of science. They need to specify a research project that fits into research program of GRK 2073 as described above.

The obligations of the postdocs will be to conduct research on their own responsibility within research projects that contribute to the research program of GRK 2073, to participate in peer learning groups and other training activities, to contribute their services to the governing board of GRK 2073 and to be available as counsels to PhD students. It is expected that postdocs take residence at their respective place of employment.

Post date: September 18, 2019
Fellows-in-Residence
Deadline: November 15, 2019

FELLOWS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM APPLICATION DEADLINE NOVEMBER 15

The Edmond J. 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 2020-21 academic year, the theme at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics will once again be the Ethics of Technological and Biomedical Innovation.

Priority will be given to early career scholars and practitioners whose work closely aligns with this theme, but we reserve some "open" slots for senior scholars and practitioners, and for exceptionally competitive applicants whose work in ethics falls outside this scope. The goal will be to craft a cohort in which "thematic" fellows and "open" fellows will all find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. 

All 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.

Under our current theme, the Center is pleased to offer joint fellowship opportunities with the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, the Carr Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School, the Center for Bioethics at the Harvard Medical School, the Center for Research on Computation and Society at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the 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 J. Safra Center for Ethics and our partnering Center.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must have a PhD, professional degree, or a minimum of 5 years of equivalent professional experience. 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.

STIPEND

Faculty:
We offer a stipend of one-half of your base academic year salary, up to $75,000, and a research allowance of up to $3,000 for approved expenses directly related to your work, such as travel, books, and research assistance.

Post-Doc:
The stipend for post-doctoral fellows was $50,000.00 in 2019-20 and will be set for 2020-21 in accordance with the University rate. We also provide a research allowance of up to $3,000 for approved expenses directly related to your work, such as travel, books, and research assistance.

Practitioners:
Practitioner stipends will be determined on a case-by-case basis, commensurate with experience.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

To apply, you will need to complete an online application form, found at ethics.harvard.edu/fellows-in-residence, which includes submission of the following in .pdf, .doc, or .docx form:

- Cover letter stating your background and interest in the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics Fellows-in-Residence Program

- CV

- Research proposal

- Recent writing sample

Names and contact information for three professional references will be requested, no letters will be accepted at this stage.

The deadline for submitting this application is November 15, 2019.
