Job description

The Clinical Center Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health invites individuals with an MD, PhD, JD or other relevant graduate training to apply for its two year fellowship program.  Our interdisciplinary department strives to create an academic environment where our fellows have the freedom and support to develop and implement their own independent scholarship agenda with guidance from faculty mentors. Fellows participate in the activities and the intellectual life of the department and study ethical issues related to conduct of research, clinical practice, genetics and health policy. Fellows will conduct mentored empirical and theoretical research on a range of bioethical fields of interest. For a typical fellow this research yields multiple first-authored publications in premier academic journals. In addition to research and writing, fellows participate in weekly bioethics seminars, case conferences, ethics consultations, and IRB deliberations, and have access to multiple educational opportunities at NIH.  No bioethics experience is required or expected. Two year positions begin September 2015. Salary is commensurate with Federal guidelines. Apply on line. Applications should include, in pdf format: resume/CV, official undergraduate and graduate transcripts, one to three writing sample/s that demonstrate analytical or critical thinking ability (not to exceed 30 pages collectively), three letters of reference, and up to a 1000 word statement of interest which may include discussion of how the fellowship fits into your career goals and potential topics you would like to investigate while here. You may also choose to discuss how you can lend a unique perspective to the department or contribute to the department's diversity.  Application deadline is midnight, December 31, 2014.  Apply on-line at www.bioethics.nih.gov/education/index.shtml.  For further information see www.bioethics.nih.gov, or contact [email protected], or call 301-496-2429.
