Shapiro Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioethics      Application Deadline: Thursday December 5, 2019 The Princeton University Center for Human Values invites applications for the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioethics for a possible opening in September 2020. 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 Shapiro Fellow will spend from one to three years at Princeton conducting research and teaching the equivalent of one course each year (subject to sufficient enrollments and approval by the Dean of the Faculty). He or she will participate in the Ira W.

An applicant may have a background in any area of ethical studies, not necessarily in bioethics. However, the proposed research plan should be related to the field of bioethics.   Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant’s previous accomplishments and the promise of the proposed research project in bioethics. The capacity to contribute to the University’s teaching program will also be taken into account.  Term of Appointment  The term of the fellowship is one year, normally beginning September 1, 2020, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years pending satisfactory performance. Appointment will be made to the rank of Postdoctoral Research Associate; the Shapiro Fellow will also carry the title of Lecturer, if teaching. Princeton University offers competitive salary and employee benefits.

Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships The University Center for Human Values at Princeton University invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for the academic year 2020-21. Fellows devote an academic year in residence at Princeton 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 provided their research plans qualify. In recent years fellows have been drawn from fields including philosophy, political theory, literature, history, classics, economics and law, but this list is not meant to be exhaustive. Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton and to be active contributors to the intellectual life of the Center. This includes participating in a weekly seminar attended by fellows and Center faculty to discuss work in progress and in various other seminars, colloquia and lectures sponsored by the Center. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University. Candidates must have a doctorate or equivalent professional degree and a strong record of research publications appropriate to their career stage. Typically Fellows hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges; in exceptional cases we consider applications from independent scholars when there is a high level of scholarly achievement. This is not a postdoctoral fellowship program and we do not generally consider candidates who will have held the Ph.D. for less than two years at the time of appointment. The fellowship period is anticipated to begin on September 1 and run for the academic year. Fellows normally receive stipends of up to one-half their academic-year salaries (subject to a minimum and maximum set each fall). Ordinarily their home institutions provide a portion of their salaries in addition to all benefits, although this is not a requirement for appointment. Stipends for independent scholars will not exceed the maximum for fellows holding appointments elsewhere. The main considerations in the evaluation of applications are the following: The significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values (see http://uchv.princeton.edu/ for more information); The quality of a candidate’s previous research and the contribution the candidate is likely to make in the future through teaching and writing; The likelihood that the research would benefit from being conducted in the University Center environment.   HOW TO APPLY Candidates must submit an online application at  https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/12522 . The following materials will be required: A curriculum vitae; A scholarly paper (of no more than 12,000 words, not including bibliography) written in the past three years; A statement (of no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed research project and including a brief working title for the project; and Contact information for three referees, including at least one who was not a graduate advisor.  Referees will be contacted directly with instructions for uploading letters of reference. These materials must be submitted online by the application deadline of Monday, November 4, 2019, 11:59 p.m. EST . We do not accept application materials by any other method.  Letters of reference should be submitted by end of business day on Monday, November 11, 2019.   The selection committee begins reviewing applications immediately so letters of reference received after the priority deadline may put candidates at a disadvantage. Decisions are expected to be announced in late March 2020. Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.    

Seeking one or two postdoctoral fellows for 3-year periods to begin in February, 2020 or close proximity, to work on currently funded studies (see below for details). Our Well-Being Laboratory remains productive in terms of research output, dissemination efforts, and talent development for the next generation of scientists. We are primarily interested in three related lines of research: Better understand and improve civil, open-minded discourse . Our lab wants to understand and improve group dynamics in the current social/work environments where competition is fierce, humans are polarized, and technological and demographic shifts are rapidly altering the way we communicate, work, and live. How can individuals and social groups cooperate across group boundaries? How can we reduce defensive reactions that are shaped by identity and ideological motives?  To improve the quality of ideas and products, how can groups create the conditions for dissent, deviance, and difference to be expressed and heard? These and other related questions will be explored. Design interventions that increase political tolerance and civility. We are developing interventions for improving discourse between people and groups with different ideologies. Our aim is to uncover the most effective and efficient strategies to disable self-defense mechanisms that steer people away from useful information that runs counter to their identity/ideology. To date, our focus has been on the value of cultivating curiosity, intellectual humility, and purpose in life. We are exploring ways to improve communication between liberals and conservatives, with the hope that these lessons can be applied to other realms of in-group favoritism and out-group hostility (e.g., relations between members of different races and sexes). Better understand and facilitate innovation in groups. We are interested in understanding groups that profess a desire to be creative and innovative and yet when confronted with different, dissenting, deviant ideas, shut down. We want to better understand minority voices that offer alternative, useful ways for improving ideas, processes, and products in schools, the workplace, and other groups such as athletic teams.  For each of these areas of inquiry, we are interested in the basic science, wide-range dissemination, and societal impact. For all three of the objectives listed above, we plan to conduct interdisciplinary work to ensure that our science informs organizations, public policy, education, and is communicated to the general public.  The successful applicant will work collaboratively to design studies, oversee data collection, management, and analysis, disseminate findings in scientific journals and conferences, and assist in the mentorship of graduate students to do all of the above. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in psychology and a commitment to open scientific values that support rigorous, reproducible research. Demonstrated statistical expertise and experience with computer programming and R is preferred.  It is worth mentioning that post-docs will receive two mentors, Drs. Todd Kashdan ( www.toddkashdan.com ) and Patrick McKnight ( https://psychology.gmu.edu/people/pmcknigh ), who have worked together for 15 years. Because we have published almost 200 peer reviewed journal articles, we are in a generativity stage. Incoming post-docs will have unprecedented opportunities for first author manuscript submissions and publications. We have over 15 archival datasets that will be readily available for post-docs to develop questions, analyze data, and write up first-author manuscripts. Our generativity and approach to science is detailed in our Well-Being Laboratory manual . Prospective applicants should send a current CV, a statement of research interests, and contact information for three professional references by email to both tkashdan@gmu.edu and pmcknigh@gmu.edu
