Education & Fellowship Opportunities
Post-doctoral fellowships
The Department of Bioethics of the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center, NIH, is offering a limited number of post-doctoral fellowship positions in bioethics.
- The Department of Bioethics is committed to clinical teaching, consultation, and research. Fellows will participate in the activities and the intellectual life of the department and study ethical issues related to conduct of research, clinical practice, and health policy. Fellows will conduct their research under the guidance of senior faculty, participate in weekly bioethics seminars, case conferences, ethics consultations, and IRB deliberations, and have access to multiple educational opportunities at the NIH.
- Fellowships are two years in length and stipends are based on the applicant's previous experience and the current US government schedule.
- For information on the faculty and other aspects of the department, please visit our website. Past post-doctoral fellows have gone on to academic careers in philosophy, medicine, law, health policy, political science, and related departments; some are also active in legal and medical practice.
Eligibility
- Applicants should have a PhD, MD, JD, or other advanced degree in a relevant field. Fellows will be selected on the basis of their previous academic or professional achievements, commitment to scholarship, and the contribution they are likely to make in the field of bioethics. No prior experience in bioethics is necessary.
