Applications for Ethics Fellowships Sought

The Program in Ethics and the Professions invites applications for resident fellowships in ethics for the academic year 1999-2000. Six fellowships will be awarded to outstanding teachers and scholars who wish to develop their competence to teach and write about ethical issues in business, education, government, law, medicine, public policy, and social science. Fellows participate in the weekly seminar of the program, may attend courses in one of the professional schools or in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and conduct their own research on ethics.

The Fellowship extends from September through June. Applicants usually hold a postgraduate degree in business, government/public policy, law, or medicine, or a doctorate in philosophy, political theory, theology, or related disciplines.

Deadline date for receipt of applications is Thursday, Dec. 17, 1998.
