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 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.

For those proposing research on the theme of Criminal Justice, we are especially interested in research which may critically analyze underlying values...
