[Leora Lawton]

*Postdoctoral Research Associate in Values and Public Policy*

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 sponsors 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 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 the start
of the appointment 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
developing a research project in this area during their time at Princeton.
Projects related to environmental policy, population, health and wellbeing,
democratic institutions and processes, information technology policy and
global governance may have an advantage, although we will consider
proposals related to any area in which the School sponsors research. 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 in the environment of 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, 2014,
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.
