Postdoctoral Fellowship in the ELSI of Precision Medicine and Other Biotechnologies<\/h2>\n

The University of North Carolina (UNC) Center for The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Biotechnologies<\/strong><\/a> (ELSI@UNC) and the Center for Bioethics<\/a><\/strong> (C:B), together with the Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care<\/a> <\/strong>(PPMH), sponsor a joint postdoctoral position in the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of precision medicine and other biotechnologies. This program is for individuals who are committed to interdisciplinary collaboration and research, and who have specific interests in genetics, precision medicine, ELSI frameworks, and the emergence of various biotechnologies.<\/p>\n

This is a one-year renewable fellowship which allows time for research, training, and publications. Fellows have the opportunity to collaborate with various faculty from the Center for ELSI@UNC, C:B, and PPMH in the School of Medicine on selected projects in bioethics. They may also collaborate on projects with other UNC faculty who are examining similar issues. With the assistance of a mentor, fellows design an individual program tailored to their particular goals, interests, and background. Fellows may use the resources of the Center for ELSI@UNC, C:B and\/or PPMH to develop ELSI projects on various topics, including those that highlight current PPMH interests such as: use of genetics for screening healthy populations of adults and children; the use of genomic information and family history in electronic health records; engagement of diverse populations in genomics and precision medicine; or the design of precision medicine research.<\/p>\n

We welcome individuals from a variety of disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences, genetics or other basic sciences, epidemiology, nursing, medicine, law, philosophy, or public health.<\/p>\n

Note: We are not currently accepting applications for this position.<\/span><\/p>\n
