The Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics is accepting applications for three exciting fellowship opportunities.

The Fellows-in-Residence program 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. Priority will be given to early career scholars and practitioners whose work closely aligns with the Center’s annual theme, the Ethics of Technological and Biomedical Innovation, but some “open” slots are reserved for senior scholars and practitioners, and for exceptionally competitive applicants whose work in ethics falls outside this scope. Applications due Nov. 15.

The Graduate Fellowship program invites applications from graduate students who are writing dissertations or are engaged in major research on topics in practical ethics, 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. All course requirements and general examinations must be completed before the start of the fellowship year. Applications due Nov. 1.

The Undergraduate Fellowship program is for Harvard College sophomores and juniors from any concentration who are pursuing research and writing with an ethics dimension, and who wish to develop their talents in modes of inquiry that are essential to tackling critical moral issues in public life. The Undergraduate Fellowship program seeks to provide students with the opportunity to engage in an informed analysis of values in their own areas of inquiry that will lead to the completion of a senior thesis. Applications due Nov. 1
