Would be great to see some disability studies folks get this!! FYI: The NIH Department of Bioethics welcomes applications for fully funded two-year postdoctoral and postbaccalaureate research fellowships. Fellows are central to the activities and intellectual life of our interdisciplinary department. They study ethical issues related to biomedical research, clinical practice,... genetics, biotechnology, public health, health policy, and more. They conduct mentored theoretical and empirical research on a range of bioethical fields. For a typical fellow, this research yields multiple first- authored publications in premier academic journals. In addition to research and writing, fellows participate in weekly bioethics seminars, case conferences, ethics consultations, and IRB deliberations, and have access to multiple educational opportunities at NIH. https://bioethicsapps.cc.nih.gov/bioethicsApp/ See more
