Since its founding in 1986, Harvard University’s Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics has convened scholars and practitioners to confront pressing ethical questions of the time. Building on this tradition, the Center invites applications for the Ethics and Civics Postdoctoral Fellowship. This fellowship is housed in the Research & Design Studio, the Center’s innovation hub, and is designed to help a new generation of thinkers and practitioners translate ethical reflection and scholarship into practical contributions for academia and public life.
The Research & Design Studio:
The Research & Design Studio (R&DS) is an interdisciplinary network that bridges research and pedagogy. Its current theme and focus are the ethical and political dimensions of disagreement: when it proves productive, how to rebuild a culture of principled disagreement, and how to navigate difference. Through this work, the R&DS seeks to strengthen civil discourse in higher education and public life, bringing together faculty, students, researchers, and practitioners to explore how we can engage across differences more constructively.
Community & Collaboration:
The Ethics and Civics Postdoctoral Fellowship seeks to prepare the next generation of scholars to integrate practical ethics and civil disagreement into both their research and teaching as they begin their academic careers. In addition to their individual research projects, fellows will develop pedagogical tools or practices during their time at the Center that can support their future teaching as well as contribute to the overall work of the R&DS and its Community of Practice.
Fellows will work together with R&DS staff to ensure they are able to effectively translate their scholarship into practical outcomes. The fellowship seminar will include opportunities to workshop both fellows’ research and pedagogy projects over the course of the year.
The fellowship is renewable for a second year at the discretion of the Center. We plan to welcome three new and up to three returning fellows each year.
Fellowship Expectations:
We aim to build cohorts where fellows find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. The ideal candidates are those interested in investing time and energy into contributing to the R&DS’s research agenda and pedagogical resource development initiatives and building community with the other fellows in their cohort, while also furthering their own projects. Fellows will receive support from the Center’s research and pedagogy teams to develop their projects for a variety of audiences and to translate their research interests into practical tools and applications. Fellows may be invited to teach a Harvard class during the course of their appointment.
Ethics & Civics Postdoctoral Fellows will:
Work with the pedagogy team to develop tools or instructional applications related to their research and/or teaching interests.
Participate in regular seminars with their cohort and others at the Center.
Engage actively with the Center’s broader programming, which includes public lectures, themed seminars and reading groups, conferences, workshops, and lunch discussions.
Advance their individual research projects, with the support of the Center’s research team as needed/available.
Residency Requirement:
This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are expected to live in the Boston area and be present at the Center at least three days per week, with at least four working days per week in the area overall. Occasional travel for conferences and other professional commitments is permitted, but Fellows should discuss their plans with the R&DS’s Director of Research and Strategic Initiatives before making a commitment.
Eligibility:
Applicants must have completed a doctoral degree no more than three years before the start of the Fellowship year.
Applicants from any discipline or professional field will be considered. Those who have previously held a yearlong residential Fellowship at the Center are not eligible; this limitation does not apply to former Undergraduate Fellows or former Graduate Fellows. The Research & Design Studio works over the course of the academic year, and is open to all applicants who meet the above criteria, regardless of citizenship.
Please note that advanced language skills in both written and spoken English are required for Fellows at the Center. Fellows are expected to discuss and/or present their work in English and are encouraged to participate in informal discussions with faculty and students with related interests. Application materials, including writing samples, should be in English. If offered a fellowship, non-native English speakers who cannot demonstrate their proficiency through (1) completion of a degree from an English-speaking institution of higher education or (2) satisfactory TOEFL or IELTS scores will be contacted by the Center staff to arrange for further evaluation as needed.
Stipend:
The stipend for post-doctoral fellows will be $7,000/month for the 2027-28 academic year, which runs from the start of September to the end of June. We also provide a research allowance of up to $3,000 per academic year for approved expenses directly related to your work, such as travel, books, and research assistance.

Research proposal (up to 1,000 words), to include:

The Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University invites applications from a broad range of researchers and practitioners who will work over the course of the year on pressing issues in ethics. Faculty in arts and sciences and professional schools, postdoctoral scholars, practitioners, and researchers from industry, government, and NGOs are eligible to apply. The call for applications for the 2027-28 academic year is completely open: we will consider any topic pertaining to the serious ethical questions of our time. Our Center will also be continuing the work of our interdisciplinary research network exploring the ethical and political dimensions of disagreement, in both its productive and unproductive varieties. Philosophers, humanists, social psychologists, and any researchers from relevant domains are invited to indicate whether their project falls into this research orbit. All eligible applicants are encouraged to apply and will be given careful consideration.
As always, our goal will be to craft a cohort in which all Fellows will find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. The ideal candidates are those who are willing to invest time and energy into building community with the other Fellows in their cohort.

Fellows may be invited to teach a Harvard class during the course of their appointment.

ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must have a PhD, professional degree, or a minimum of 5 years of equivalent professional experience by September 1 of the Fellowship year. Applicants from any discipline or professional field will be considered. Those who have previously held a yearlong residential Fellowship at the Center are not eligible; this limitation does not apply to former Undergraduate Fellows or former Graduate Fellows.
