THE CENTER FOR ETHICS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS 2011-2012

The Center for Ethics and Public Affairs
2011-2012 Faculty Fellowships

The Murphy Institute
Tulane University

The Center for Ethics and Public Affairs at the Murphy Institute at Tulane University has extended the application process for 2011-2012 Faculty Fellowships.  The new deadline is March 7, 2011. These fellowships, made possible by funds from the Tulane Murphy Foundation, are available to support outstanding faculty whose teaching and research focus on ethics, political philosophy, or questions of moral choice in areas such as, but not restricted to, architecture, business, government, law, economics, and medicine. While fellows will participate in conferences and seminars organized by the Center, they will be expected to devote most of their time to conducting their own research.

Faculty Fellows receive a stipend of 60,000 USD and are eligible for Tulane faculty benefits, including health insurance. All Fellows will receive the use of a faculty office equipped with a computer and faculty library privileges. Fellows are selected by external reviewers and members of the Center’s Faculty Committee. Applicants are judged on the basis of the quality of achievements in their field of specialization, the ability to benefit from work in the Center, the contributions they are likely to make in the future through teaching and writing, the probable significance of their proposed research, and its relevance to the purpose of the Center.

Applicants should hold a doctorate in philosophy, political theory, economics (or related a discipline), or a professional, terminal degree in architecture, business, law, medicine, or public policy at the time of application. Although Faculty Fellowships are open to all, preference will be given to applicants at an early stage of their careers, normally no more than ten years from the receipt of the terminal degree. Center Faculty Fellowships are open to all, regardless of citizenship.
