The Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Brown University (PPE Center) will be appointing up to two Postdoctoral Fellows. Post-doctorates must have received their PhD within the past three years. Postdoctoral fellows will pursue their own research, participate in PPE Center workshops, and teach one seminar course per year. In addition to a CV, three confidential letters of reference, a writing sample, and teaching statement, applications should include a cover letter describing how their research fits within the mission of the PPE Center. 

We seek candidates who will contribute to diversity and/or have demonstrated support for diversity and inclusion through their teaching and research. The successful candidate must have a promising interdisciplinary research agenda demonstrated through dissertation work, publications, and/or works in progress. By interdisciplinary research, we mean the candidates’ research should cross at least two of the three constituent fields of philosophy, politics, and economics.  

Brown University PPE Center seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, viewpoints, and ways of knowing and learning.

Candidates are asked to include a statement of how their teaching is designed to contribute to an inclusive educational environment. A similar contribution from one’s research can also be cited if relevant. Appointments are for one year, renewable for a second year based on satisfactory performance and the availability of funds.
