Resident Fellowship in Ethics, U.S. Naval Academy
Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership

 
     
 

September 19, 2007

United States Naval Academy Ethics Center
The Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership invites applications for its annual Resident Fellowship Program for Academic Year 2008-2009, in collaboration with the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.

The goal of the Stockdale residential fellowship is to bring together academic scholars and teachers with senior career military officers, civil servants, and others to collaborate on strengthening public understanding of the ethics of war and peace, ethics and the military profession, and the relationship of ethics and character to the development of effective leadership in a variety of professions and institutional settings. Ideal candidates from academia will be established scholars with publications and substantial teaching experience in philosophy and ethics, international relations, or public policy. The Stockdale fellowship provides a sabbatical supplement to enable such scholars to encompass a focus on ethics and military affairs, national defense, and international relations in their ongoing teaching and research.

In AY 2008-09, the Stockdale Center anticipates having funding for one senior residential fellowship. The academic fellow will join a senior fellow from the Marine Corps, a fellow selected from the Navy Chaplains Corps, and at least one additional fellow selected from the Naval Academy’s own faculty. Fellows collaborate in a weekly seminar devoted to ethics and the just war tradition in the fall, and to ethics and leadership in the spring. They carry out their own individual research projects and other activities in cooperation with a large department of senior civilian philosophers, and approximately forty senior military officers (ranging in rank from Commander/Lieutenant Colonel to Admiral), who collaborate with one another in the teaching of the Academy’s required core course, "Ethics and the Military Profession." The fellow will also enjoy an affiliation with the Carnegie Council’s work in its core theme area, Ethics, War, and Peace. The Stockdale Center will provide our resident fellow with travel and research support to enable participation in the lectures, seminar discussions, and other research activities sponsored by the Carnegie Council in this affiliated program in Washington, DC and New York City.

The Stockdale residential fellowship is supported by donations from the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1958. Their generous support allows fellows receive office space, computer facilities, library privileges, and a stipend equivalent to half-salary, up to $40,000. Health, retirement, and social security benefits are not offered. (Faculty on leave of absence without sabbatical or outside grant support may elect to receive the maximum stipend to defray their expenses.) This is a full-time, resident fellowship, which runs from September 2008 through May 2009. The United States Naval Academy is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. This agency provides reasonable accommodations to applicants with disabilities.

Applicants should send a letter describing their interests in ethics in the areas listed above; a proposal for a research project to be undertaken during the fellowship; a curriculum vitae; and copies of relevant publications. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to the fellowship program director.

The deadline for the receipt of applications is January 15, 2008. The award recipient will be announced in late March 2008.

All application materials should be sent to:
