Berggruen Fellowship at NYU Global Institute for Advanced Study

NYU’s Global Institute for Advanced Study plans to hire 3 post-doctoral fellows for the academic year 2018-2019, one each, in philosophy, sociology and economics. These fellows, funded by the Berggruen Institute in relation to its programs around the Great Transformations, will help in the first stages of a project on the ethical and policy issues raised by long-term changes in the labor market.

The central questions are whether we need to find new social and economic forms that meet the need to

• (1) produce goods and
• (2) provide incomes, while providing frameworks for
• (3) sociability and
• (4) significance;

and, if so, what the major normative issues are that we will face in doing that. Fellows will work under the guidance of Professor K. Anthony Appiah and a small group of senior scholars to produce literature reviews and a preliminary paper for their respective fields.

NYU will provide office space and assistance in housing and a stipend of $75,000.

Applicants should submit a CV and a one-page letter of interest as well as one piece of recent published work by March 16.
