Jobs In Philosophy
The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Zurich invites applications for two PhD positions as part of the Research project:
“Value-Based Non-Consequentialism”
The project is led by Dr. Jörg Löschke and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF). The positions are to be filled from the 1st of March 2019 and will last for four years. More information about employment at the University of Zurich can be found under www.pa.uzh.ch/de/Willkommen-an-der-UZH.html.
The aim of the project is to explore the prospects of a value-based non-consequentialism. It is divided into two subprojects. Subproject A aims to develop the most plausible form of a value-first framework and to examine how such a view might accommodate agent-relative reasons. Subproject B examines the nature of moral requirements, how the practical reasons of agents generate requirements, and what role agent-relative reasons play in this process. The successful candidates will work within the broad research fields that are defined by the research questions; within these research fields, they will be free to choose their specific focus. Possible topics for subproject A are the relation between reasons and values, or previous attempts to reconcile consequentialist and deontological assumptions (rule consequentialism, indirect consequentialism, consequentializing, etc.). Possible topics for subproject B are the relation between reasons and requirements, or more applied questions pertaining to agent-relative elements of morality (relationships, personal projects, deontological restrictions). Applicants should indicate which subproject they apply for.
Successful applicants will write a doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Jörg Löschke. They are also expected to co-organize workshops and talks related to the project. For more information about the project, please contact Jörg Löschke (joerg [dot] loeschke [__at__] lrz [dot] uni-muenchen [dot] de).
We seek Ph.D. candidates with:
- an excellent Master’s degree in philosophy.
- strong promise of completing an outstanding Ph.D. dissertation in four years in the project area
- very good knowledge of English; very good knowledge of German is an advantage.
We offer:
- opportunity to complete a Ph.D. in philosophy in an internationally oriented research context
- opportunity to gain a variety of research related skills and experiences in helping to organize conferences
- attractive working conditions in a highly collaborative research group
-
The application material should contain a letter of motivation, a CV, a transcript of records, and a research plan (3-5 pages) and the contact details of one person that might be contacted for a letter of reference. The whole electronic application (a single PDF file) must be submitted by the 31st of October 2018 to Lisa Brun (lisa [dot] brun [__at__] philos [dot] uzh [dot] ch).
The University of Zurich seeks to increase the proportion of women in teaching and research, and hence explicitly encourages applications by qualified women.
The Edmond J. 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. For the 2019-20 academic year, the theme at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics will be the Ethics of Technological and Biomedical Innovation.
Priority will be given to early career scholars and practitioners whose work closely aligns with this theme, but we reserve some "open" slots for senior scholars and practitioners, and for exceptionally competitive applicants whose work in ethics falls outside this scope. The goal will be to craft a cohort in which "thematic" fellows and "open" fellows will all find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work.
The one-year fellowship term runs the course of the academic year, typically from the beginning of September through the end of May. All 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 the Center's programming, which includes public lectures, themed seminars and reading groups, conferences, workshops, and lunch discussions.
Under our new theme, the Center is pleased to offer joint fellowship opportunities with the following Centers: the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics at the Harvard Law School; the Center for Bioethics at the Harvard Medical School; and the Center for Research on Computation and Society at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Please note that the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics is no longer able to accept applications for Berggruen Fellowships.
The Princeton University Center for Human Values invites applications for the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioethics for a possible opening in September 2019. The Shapiro Fellowship supports outstanding scholars studying ethical issues arising from developments in medicine, the biological sciences, or population health. We particularly encourage proposals focusing on problems of practical importance that have broader theoretical interest.
The Shapiro Fellow will spend from one to three years at Princeton conducting research and teaching the equivalent of one course each year (subject to sufficient enrollments and approval by the Dean of the Faculty). He or she will participate in the Ira W. DeCamp Seminar in Bioethics and will be invited to participate in other activities of the University Center for Human Values including a year-long research seminar for visiting fellows and Center faculty.
Qualifications
Applicants must have completed all the requirements for the Ph.D., M.D., or other equivalent doctoral degree by September 1, 2019, and should not have held the degree for more than three years by that date. An applicant may have a background in any area of ethical studies, not necessarily in bioethics. However, the proposed research plan should be related to the field of bioethics.
Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant’s previous accomplishments and the promise of the proposed research project in bioethics. The capacity to contribute to the University’s teaching program will also be taken into account.
Term of Appointment
The term of the fellowship is one year, beginning September 1, 2019, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years pending satisfactory performance. Appointment will be made to the rank of Postdoctoral Research Associate; the Shapiro Fellow will also carry the title of Lecturer when teaching. Princeton University offers competitive salary and employee benefits.

The University Center for Human Values at Princeton University invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for the academic year 2019-20. Fellows devote an academic year in residence at Princeton to research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. This full-time visiting program is open to scholars in all disciplines provided their research plans qualify. In recent years fellows have been drawn from fields including philosophy, political theory, literature, history, classics, economics and law, but this list is not meant to be exhaustive.
Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton and to be active contributors to the intellectual life of the Center. This includes participating in a weekly seminar attended by fellows and Center faculty to discuss work in progress and in various other seminars, colloquia and lectures sponsored by the Center. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University.
Candidates must have a doctorate or equivalent professional degree and a strong record of research publications appropriate to their career stage. Typically Fellows hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges; in exceptional cases we consider applications from independent scholars when there is a high level of scholarly achievement. This is not a postdoctoral fellowship program and we do not generally consider candidates who will have held the Ph.D. for less than two years at the time of appointment.
The fellowship period extends from September 1 to July 1. Fellows normally receive stipends of up to one-half their academic-year salaries (subject to a minimum and maximum set each fall). Ordinarily their home institutions provide a portion of their salaries in addition to all benefits, although this is not a requirement for appointment. Stipends for independent scholars will not exceed the maximum for fellows holding appointments elsewhere.
The main considerations in the evaluation of applications are the following:
• The significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values (see http://uchv.princeton.edu/ for more information);
• The quality of a candidate’s previous research and the contribution the candidate is likely to make in the future through teaching and writing;
• The likelihood that the research would benefit from being conducted in the University Center environment.
HOW TO APPLY
Candidates must submit an online application at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/7421
The following materials will be required:
1. A curriculum vitae;
2. A scholarly paper (of no more than about 12,000 words) written in the past three years;
3. A statement (of no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed research project and including a brief working title for the project; and
4. Contact information for three referees, including at least one who was not a graduate advisor. Referees will be contacted directly with instructions for uploading letters of reference.
These materials must be submitted online by the application deadline of Monday, November 5, 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST. We do not accept application materials by any other method. The selection committee begins reviewing applications immediately and incomplete applications may be at a disadvantage. Decisions are expected to be announced in early March 2019.
