The Center offers four types of fellowships each year: visiting professor, visiting scholar, postdoctoral fellow, and dissertation fellow. These fellowships are offered through the programs listed below.

Exchange Program with The Cohn Institute for History of Science and Ideas,
Tel Aviv University.
This exchange program is the primary mechanism through which the Center sponsors visiting professors and visiting scholars by providing faculty and graduate students from Tel Aviv University with the opportunity to teach and perform research at Boston University. Please contact Leo Corry, Director of The Cohn Institute for History of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, for more information about this program.

Postdoctoral Fellowship.
The Center sponsors a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the area of philosophy of science, medicine, and values. The successful candidate’s research and teaching must address the ways in which values and ethics should inform and guide both science and medicine. The fellow is awarded a stipend of $36,000 for the twelve-month appointment period beginning in the fall of the academic year and is responsible for teaching one class per semester (fall and spring). A completed doctorate is required. Applications must arrive by January 15th for the following September and must include a cover letter explaining the research project (about 3000 words), a current CV, and three letters of recommendation. Application materials should be sent to the Center for Philosophy and History of Science, Boston University, 745 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA 02215.

We are now accepting applications for the Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Graduate Student Dissertation Fellowship.
The Center sponsors doctoral candidates from the Department of Philosophy at Boston University in the broad arena of philosophy of science and epistemology. Successful candidates are selected in the spring of each year and are granted a stipend for the academic year at the rate offered by the Department of Philosophy.
