JOE - October 2012

The Political Theory Project at Brown University has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the area of Economics and/or Public Policy. The Project is particularly interested in candidates whose work is in the area of tax and budget policy, cost benefit analysis of regulatory practices, education reform, welfare reform, or environmental policy. Fellows pursue their own research and teach two courses a year, one of which may be a team-taught course that combines Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Appointment as Post Doctoral Research Associate is for one year, but may be renewable. PhD must have been received within the previous three years. Applications should include CV, three confidential letters of reference, a one-page research plan, and a writing sample of no more than 20,000 words. Details about the Project's research and pedagogical missions, and a list of sample PTP courses can be found at www.politicaltheoryproject.org. On the cover letter, applicants must indicate: 1) how their work advances the Project's mission and 2) which Project-sponsored course they would most like to teach and why.

Applications can be submitted online at http://interfolio.com/apply/14798. Applications received by November 1, 2012 will be assured of full consideration. Brown is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
