The Ethics Institute provides a limited number of appointments for visiting scholars who wish to use the resources of the Institute and the campus at large for a designated research project. The appointment entails neither salary nor benefits, but does provide library privileges and computer access. Visiting Scholars may obtain a scholar study in Baker Berry Library on a term to term basis, as long as they are available. Each study contains a desk, chair, bookcase and lamp. [Please note that housing in Hanover is extremely limited and the College cannot provide assistance in locating rental property.]
The Visiting Scholars will be included in all Ethics Institute activities during their stay, and will be invited to present their research to interested Dartmouth faculty and students. Anyone interested in applying for a Visiting Scholar position should write a brief description of their research project and submit it to: Aine Donovan, Executive Director.
