The Hastings Center Expands

We're expanding our research department to strengthen our ability to meet today’s challenges. We’re hiring a research scholar and a new Rice Family Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioethics and the Humanities. The research scholar will focus on scholarship and public outreach on major ethical, legal, and social issues on topics in health, health care, and science. The postdoctoral fellowship is a two-year, full-time position within our Bioethics and the Humanities Initiative, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Application deadlines are in December. Learn more about the research scholar position and the postdoctoral fellowship.
