Faculty Fellowships In Ethics
Academic Year
2009-2010
The Harvard University Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics invites applications for Faculty Fellowships in Ethics for the academic year 2009-2010 (September through June).
The Center encourages teaching and research about ethical issues in the
professions and public life. Its residential faculty fellowships support outstanding teachers and scholars who wish to develop their ability to
address questions of moral choice in areas such as architecture, business,
education, government, law, medicine, and public policy.
Fellows participate in the Center's weekly seminar and participate in a wide
range of events and activities offered at the Center and the University at
large. A significant part of their time is devoted to conducting their own
research in ethics. Stipends are set each year and may vary with individual
circumstances.
Applicants should hold a PhD in philosophy, political theory, theology or related discipline, or an advanced professional degree, and should be no more than ten years from their first academic appointment.
Deadline for receipt of applications: October 31, 2008

Visiting Faculty Fellowships 2008-09
University of Toronto
Fellows will participate in a bi-weekly seminar at the Centre, together with local faculty as well as the Centre’s graduate and post-doctoral fellows. Although regular teaching obligations are not attached to the Fellowships, we expect fellows to have some involvement in the undergraduate Ethics, Society and Law Program. Fellows are also expected to participate regularly in the Centre’s other activities, including seminars, colloquia, and public lectures; and to be in residence in Toronto for the term of their appointments, which will run from September 1, 2008 to May 15, 2009.
Faculty fellows will receive stipends intended to help maintain their salary during the fellowship year at its usual level. Stipends will normally amount to up to one half of the fellow’s academic year salary, up to a maximum of C$ 50, 000. In addition, fellows will receive a research allowance; an office in the Centre, equipped with a computer; and access to library and other University facilities. Their home institution is expected to provide at least half of their salaries, in addition to all benefits. Fellows between regular academic appointments are eligible for funding to be determined on an individual basis.
Fellows are selected by a faculty committee in the Centre for Ethics. Applicants are judged on the quality of their achievements in their field of specialization and their ability to benefit from work in the Centre; the contributions they are likely to make in the future in higher education through teaching and writing about ethics; and the probable significance of their proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the Centre. Applicants must hold a university faculty appointment at the time of application. There is no restriction on discipline or citizenship.
For fellowships beginning in September 2008, applicants must submit hard copies of:
1. A curriculum vitae;
2. A scholarly paper in English written or published in the past three years (no more than 10,000 words; on longer papers, applicants must indicate their own excerpt);
3. A statement (no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed research project;
4. Three letters of reference (at least one from someone who was not a dissertation supervisor) sent directly to the Director, Centre for Ethics at the address below.
