NIH Department of Bioethics Postbaccalaureate and Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

The NIH Department of Bioethics welcomes applications for fully funded two-year postbaccalaureate and postdoctoral research fellowships. Fellows are central to the activities and intellectual life of the interdisciplinary department, including weekly bioethics seminars, case conferences, ethics consultations, IRB deliberations, and other educational opportunities at NIH. They study ethical issues related to biomedical research, clinical practice, genetics, biotechnology, public health, health policy, population health and health disparities, and other important issues in bioethics. Fellows conduct mentored theoretical and empirical research, typically yielding multiple first-authored publications in academic journals. The program does not require or expect bioethics experience and encourages anyone with a strong interest to apply. Fellowships begin in September of each year with stipends determined by NIH Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) guidelines.
