Faculty Fellowships in Ethics Available

The University Center for Ethics and the Professions offers Faculty Fellowships supporting outstanding teachers and scholars who wish to develop their ability to address questions of moral choice in such areas as business, education, government, law, medicine, and public policy. Fellows participate in a weekly seminar discussing problems of research and teaching in ethics. Fellows enjoy opportunites to participate in courses, colloquia, curricular development, collaborative research, study groups, casewriting workshops, and clinical programs. A significant part of their time is devoted to conducting their own research in ethics.

Faculty normally receive stipends equivalent to up to one half of their academic year salaries for the fellowship period September 1 to June 30. The deadline for receipt of applications is Thursday, December 4, 2003. For more information, visit www.ethics.harvard.edu.
