Safra Center seeks fellowship applicants

The Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard is seeking applicants for the center’s graduate fellowships in ethics. Applications are invited from graduate students who are writing dissertations or are engaged in major research on topics in practical ethics, especially ethical issues in architecture, business, education, government, law, medicine, public health, public policy, and religion.

The center seeks applicants who have excelled in their fields of specialization, have demonstrated an interest in questions of value that cut across disciplinary boundaries, and who are likely to make significant contributions to teaching and scholarship in practical and professional ethics.

Students should be enrolled in a Harvard doctoral program, or be enrolled in or be a recent graduate of a Harvard professional degree program that does not require a doctoral dissertation for an academic career (such as law or medicine). Advanced students taking leaves of absence from one of these approved programs are also eligible. All course requirements and general examinations must be completed before the start of the fellowship year. Students taking a full or partial course load in either semester of the fellowship year are ineligible.

The deadline for applying is Nov. 18. For more information, visit the website or email erica_jaffe@hks.harvard.edu.
