Application for **REVISED APPLICATION DEADLINE** Postdoctoral Research
Associate in Ethics and Climate Change

The University Center for Human Values (UCHV) and the Princeton
Environmental Institute (PEI) at Princeton University invite applications
for a postdoctoral research associate or more senior position working at the
intersection of ethics and global change to contribute to the Climate
Futures Initiative in Science, Values, and Policy (CFI) - a jointly
supported research program. Our aim is to support a scholar whose research
agenda focuses on the ethical dimensions of climate change, informed by
knowledge of climate science and policy.  Applicants trained in moral and
political philosophy, political theory, normative economics, and related
areas are encouraged to apply.
 
The incumbent will be expected to be an active contributor to CFI and, in
concert with the program's faculty leadership and steering committee, will
play a central role in planning the group's activities. He/she will be
encouraged to participate in the UCHV and PEI communities and will have
responsibility for contributing the equivalent of one course each year to
the undergraduate or graduate programs of the Institute or University
Center. This contribution may be fulfilled by teaching a course on a topic
related to the ethical issues of global change, subject to the needs of the
Institute and University Center, sufficient enrollment and approval by the
Dean of the Faculty, or other forms of service as suggested by the Institute
or University Center.

Qualifications
To be eligible, an applicant must have completed his/her Ph.D.  The
applicant's dissertation need not be specifically in the ethics of climate
change, but persons applying to this position will be expected to
demonstrate relevant background and commitment to working on a research
project in the focal area during their time at Princeton. 
Applications will be evaluated on the basis of previous accomplishments, the
promise of the proposed research in ethics, climate science, and policy, and
the likelihood that the project will be enhanced by being carried out in an
interdisciplinary environment. The capacity to contribute to the
University's teaching program may also be taken into account.
 
Term of Appointment 
The term of appointment is one year, normally beginning September 1, 2019,
with the expectation of renewal for an additional year contingent upon
satisfactory performance. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to be in
residence for the duration of his/her appointment. This is a full-time
position.  As such, the individual accepting this position may not be
employed by another institution during the term of his/her appointment at
Princeton.
