The University Center for Human Values and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs invite applications for postdoctoral positions in Values and Public
Policy. We aim to support highly promising scholars trained in moral and political
philosophy, political theory, normative economics and related areas to develop a
research agenda in the ethical dimensions of public policy.
Candidates selected will undertake a research project exploring a normative problem
arising in an area of public policy in which the Woodrow Wilson School conducts
research. They will be affiliated with a unit of the School that can inform and support
their work. They will also be invited to participate in programs of the University Center
for Human Values. Candidates will be expected to contribute one course each year to
the School’s undergraduate or graduate program on a topic related to ethical issues in
public policy, subject to sufficient enrollment and approval by the Dean of the Faculty.

Qualifications

Applicants must have completed the requirements for the Ph.D. by September 1, 2015
and must not have held the degree for more than three years by that date. They may
not be employed by another institution during the term of their Princeton appointment.
Applicants’ dissertation research need not be specifically in values and public policy, but
they will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to working on a research project in
this area during their time at Princeton. Projects must be related to an area in which the
School has a Center or Program (such as science and environmental policy, health and
well-being, democratic institutions and processes, information technology policy or
globalization and governance). For more information about these areas, please consult
http://wws.princeton.edu/centers-programs.

Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant’s previous accomplishments,
the promise of the proposed research project in values and public policy, and the
likelihood that the project will be enhanced by being carried out at the Woodrow Wilson
School. The capacity to contribute to the University’s teaching program will also be
taken into account.

Term of Appointment

The term of appointment is one year, normally beginning September 1, 2015, with the
expectation of renewal for one further year assuming good performance. Applicants are
expected to be in residence for the duration of the appointment. Princeton offers
competitive salary and employee benefits.
