The Program in Cognitive Science, in collaboration with the University Center for Human Values, invites applications for postdoctoral or more senior positions in the Cognitive Science of Values. The successful candidate will be based in the laboratory of Dr. Tania Lombrozo in the Department of Psychology. We aim to support a highly promising scholar with a background in cognitive science or a related discipline, such as psychology, empirically informed/experimental philosophy, or formal epistemology. The scholar's research agenda should address a topic that engages with both cognitive science and values, such as the role of moral values in decision making, the role of epistemic values in belief revision, or the role of values in the cognitive science of religion. The proposed research is expected to yield both theoretical and empirical publications. Candidates will be expected to contribute the equivalent of one course each year to the University Center and/or the Department. This...

The Princeton University Center for Human Values invites applications for the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioethics for a possible available position starting in September 2024. The Shapiro Fellowship supports outstanding scholars studying ethical issues arising from developments in medicine, the biological sciences, or population health. We particularly encourage proposals focusing on problems of practical importance that have broader theoretical interest.

The Princeton University Center for Human Values invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Moral Philosophy for a position starting in September 2024. The researcher's duties will include making progress on their own research projects, teaching the equivalent of one course each year, and actively participating in the intellectual community of the University Center for Human Values. The teaching will likely involve running a senior thesis seminar rather than teaching a traditional course, subject to approval of Princeton's Dean of the Faculty. The postdoc will be expected to participate in a year-long research seminar for visiting fellows and Center faculty, as well as a year-long seminar for the Center's cohort of Postdoctoral Associates. (Each of these seminars meets roughly every other week.) The postdoc will also be expected to regularly attend some of the talks, panels, and conferences sponsored by the Center. The University Center for Human Values has a strong...

The University Center for Human Values invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for academic year 2024-25. Fellows devote an academic year in residence to research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. This full-time visiting program is open to scholars in all disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. For 2024-25, the Center's designated research theme is Criminal Justice, but scholars need not work on Criminal Justice to apply. We anticipate that roughly half of the fellowships awarded for 2024-25 will fall within the research theme, and welcome applications for research projects in any area of human values, broadly defined. We welcome applications from scholars from a variety of disciplines for both our theme and non-theme fellowships. For those proposing research on the theme of Criminal Justice, we are especially interested in research which may critically analyze underlying values...
