Postdoctoral Fellowship in Values and Public Policy


Sponsor:          Princeton University

SYNOPSIS:  The Values and Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellowship
supports 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 undertake a research project exploring a normative
problem arising in an area of public policy in which the Woodrow
Wilson School sponsors research. They are affiliated with a unit of
the School that can inform and support their work. They are also
invited to participate in programs of the University Center for Human
Values. Candidates are 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.

OBJECTIVES:  Projects related to environmental policy,
population, health and well-being, democratic institutions and
processes, information technology policy and global governance may
have an advantage, although the sponsor will consider proposals
related to any area in which the School sponsors research.
Applications are evaluated on the basis of the applicant's previous
accomplishments and the promise of the proposed research project in
values and public policy. The capacity to contribute to the
University's teaching program is also taken into account.

ELIGIBILITY
 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.

FUNDING
 The term of appointment is one year, 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.
