The Edmond & Lily 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. The call for applications for the 2025-26 academic year is completely open: we will consider any topic pertaining to the serious ethical questions of our time. Our Center will also be launching an interdisciplinary research network to explore ethical and political dimensions of disagreement, in both its productive and unproductive varieties. Philosophers, humanists, social psychologists, and any researchers from relevant domains are invited to indicate whether their project falls into this research orbit. All eligible applicants are encouraged to apply and will be given careful consideration; priority will be given to outstanding early career scholars and practitioners.
As always, our goal will be to craft a cohort in which all fellows will find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. The ideal candidates are those who are willing to invest time and energy into building community with the other fellows in their cohort.
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—and contribute to—the Center's programming, which includes public lectures, themed seminars and reading groups, conferences, workshops, and lunch discussions.
This Fellowship is residential. With the exception of travel to conferences and meetings, Fellows are expected to be in residence in the Boston area at least four working days per week during the term, and working from the Center’s office space at least three days per week.
For the last few years, the Center has offered the possibility of joint fellowship opportunities with several other Centers at Harvard. We continue to offer that possibility, with specific potential affiliations to be worked out on a case-by-case basis:
Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University
Carr Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School
Center for Bioethics at the Harvard Medical School
Center for Research on Computation and Society at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University
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 & Lily Safra Center for Ethics and the partnering center.
NEW! Post-Doctoral Fellowships: For the first time, the Center will offer two-year fellowships specifically for postdoctoral researchers who receive(d) their degree between September 1, 2023 and August 30, 2025. One new fellow will be selected each year, ultimately creating a postdoctoral cohort within the Fellows-in-Residence program. We will accept applications for the postdoctoral fellowship on any topic pertaining to the serious ethical questions of our time.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must have a PhD, professional degree, or a minimum of 5 years of equivalent professional experience by September 1 of the fellowship year. 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.
Please note that advanced language skills in both written and spoken English are required for Fellows at the Center. Fellows are expected to discuss and/or present their work in English and are encouraged to participate in informal discussions with faculty and students with related interests. Application materials, including writing samples, should be in English. If offered a fellowship, non-native English speakers who cannot demonstrate their proficiency through (1) completion of a degree from an English-speaking institution of higher education or (2) satisfactory TOEFL or IELTS scores will be contacted by the Center staff to arrange for further evaluation as needed.
STIPEND
Faculty:
We offer a stipend of one-half of your base academic year salary up to $80,000 and a research allowance of up to $5,000 for approved expenses directly related to your work, such as travel, books, and research assistance.
Post-Doc:
The stipend for post-doctoral fellows will be $7,000/month for 2025-26. We also provide a research allowance of up to $5,000 per academic year for approved expenses directly related to your work, such as travel, books, and research assistance.

Research Fellow (PostDoc) (m/f/d) with full-time employment - E 13 TV-L HU (third-party funding limited for 12 months, expected dates January 2025 to December 2025)
The Emmy-Noether research group "A Sensible World", to be funded by the DFG for up to six years (2020-2026), aims to study the debates on secondary qualities that took place in and around the School of Brentano. It will analyze these debates in all their richness and complexity, and thus explore this issue through a broad network of authors: in Franz Brentano himself and his closest pupils Anton Marty and Carl Stumpf, in Alexius Meinong and his heirs Alois Höfler and Stephan Witasek, and in Edmund Husserl and his early students Adolf Reinach and Edith Stein, among many others. The research group will study the novel, but still little-known inquiries conducted within this network of authors on the phenomenology, metaphysics, and epistemology of secondary qualities, and consequently on the relation between our naive and scientific worldviews.
