Open Call for Fellowship Applications: Academic Year 2020 - 2021
<br>
<br>The Institute for Medical Ethics and History of Medicine of the
<br>Ruhr-University Bochum is now accepting fellowship applications for
<br>2020-2021. This opportunity is for post-doctoral researchers who wish to
<br>spend four weeks during term time in Bochum as part of the Institute’s
<br>vibrant community of research and who seek to engage in collaborative
<br>and interdisciplinary exploration of some of the most important and
<br>compelling ethical issues. Applications will be accepted until Monday,
<br>October 14th, 2019 at 11:59 p.m CET.
<br>Open slots are available between April 6th and July 17th 2020 or between
<br>October 12th 2020 and February 5th 2021! (Please indicate your preferred
<br>time slot in your application!)
<br>
<br>We are looking for talented and dedicated scholars with strong
<br>intellectual abilities, an interest in interdisciplinary research,
<br>flexibility, team-working skills, and a very good command of the English
<br>language. Candidates should have successfully completed a doctoral
<br>degree in medicine, philosophy, social sciences, psychology, or another
<br>relevant discipline with experience in the field of medical ethics.
<br>
<br>We invite applications from people working on a broad range of ethical
<br>topics which may overlap with ongoing work at the Institute or may
<br>expose our research community to new opportunities and approaches.
<br>
<br>About the Fellowship Programme
<br>
<br>The fellowships are awarded to post-doctoral researchers under the
<br>Institute’s established International Visiting Fellowship Programme in
<br>Medical Ethics. As one of the country’s leading groups in the
<br>interdisciplinary field of medical ethics, we offer a dynamic and
<br>vibrant research environment. Our research covers a broad range of
<br>topics and methods, including projects with philosophical as well as
<br>empirical social-scientific approaches. For information about previous
<br>fellows, please visit our institute website
<br>(https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/malakow/forschung/fellows/index.html.en).
<br>
<br>The duration of the fellowships is one month with the option to extend
<br>the stay for another month. Fellows receive a monthly stipend of 1.200
<br>EUR to cover their living expenses in Germany, depending on their
<br>qualification. Fellowships do not provide medical insurance or other
<br>social benefits. Social security or tax-payments are not deducted from
<br>the stipend.
<br>
<br>Your application should include your curriculum vitae, a short outline
<br>(1-2 pages) of the purpose of your visit and a copy of a recent
<br>publication or an example of relevant work. The latter should be on the
<br>order of a paper or chapter - not an entire book or dissertation - and
<br>should be in English. Please e-mail your application until Monday,
<br>October 14th, 2019. 11:59 p.m CET to Dr. Ina Otte (ina.otte@rub.de).
