Visiting Research Professorship/Faculty Fellowship (EXPIRED)

Visiting Research Professorships/Faculty Fellowships

The Center for Ethics and Public Affairs at the Murphy Institute at Tulane University invites applications for three Faculty Fellowships/Visiting Research Professorships for the 2020-2021 academic year.

These fellowships are available to support outstanding faculty whose teaching and research focus on ethics; political and social philosophy; moral psychology, agency and responsibility; philosophy of law; political theory; or questions of moral choice in areas such as, but not restricted to, business, government, law, economics, and medicine.

While fellows will participate in conferences and seminars organized by the Murphy Institute, they will be expected to devote most of their time to conducting their own research.   Faculty Fellows are appointed as Visiting Research Professors at Tulane University's Murphy Institute, receive a salary of 65,500 USD, and are eligible for faculty benefits, including health insurance. 

The application deadline is December 30, 2019.
