The Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine
(CBSSM), a multidisciplinary research unit sponsored by the University of
Michigan Medical School and the Ann Arbor Veterans Administration, has an
active program for post-doctoral research fellows. CBSSM is currently
soliciting applications from qualified individuals for two post-doctoral
research fellow positions for the 2013-2014 academic year:
Decision Sciences Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
This
fellowship focuses on understanding and improving the health care communication
and decisions made by both patients and providers. Past post-doctoral
fellows have included scholars whose research in health care communication and
decision-making has been approached using theories drawn from social cognition,
motivation and emotion, risk communication, ethics, and economics.
Bioethics Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Active projects in bioethics at CBSSM currently include
informed consent and therapeutic misconception, surrogate decision-making,
decision-making capacity for treatment and research, deliberative democratic
methods in bioethics, resource allocation, and the sociology of medical
ethics/bioethics, among others. Candidates' area of focus must be in
bioethics, although their backgrounds may be in social or natural sciences,
humanities, medicine, or law.
CBSSM has five broad programs that serve its research
mission and fellows will usually focus on one of these areas. Please
see www.cbssm.org/research to
learn more.
* Program in Clinical and Research Ethics
* Program in Health Communication and
Decision-Making
* Program in Medicine and Society
* Program in Health, Justice, and Community
* Program in Genomics, Health, and Society
Post-doctoral fellows are expected to
collaborate on established projects and are encouraged to conduct independent
research with an emphasis on study inception, manuscript writing, and
applying for grants. CBSSM's resources (including research assistant help) and
collaborative support enable the fellows to build their own research programs.
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience
and education. All requirements of the PhD or equivalent terminal
degree must be completed before the post-doctoral research fellow appointment
can begin. Candidates should submit a letter of research interests,
reprints/preprints, CV, and three letters of recommendation by February 4,
2013. Application materials should be sent in electronic format to:
