Eligibility:

  • Advanced graduate students (post-comprehensive exam)
  • Postdoctoral students 
  • Faculty (pre-tenure) working on research projects that would benefit from collaboration with the Iowa Care Lab

Residency requirement:

  • 2 to 3 weeks; the in-person residency establishes the beginning of research, to be continued with monthly zoom collaborations

Topics are open, but special consideration will be given to the following topics:

  • Modeling care in systems of social cooperation (philosophers of science are invited to apply)
  • Care in social ontology
  • Care in constructivism

Fellows will receive a $3,000 stipend which also funds their travel and housing while in Iowa City. Fellows may choose a 2 to 3-week duration during the Fall semester 2025 for their residency.

  • Each fellow will be expected to lead a workshop meeting for the Care Lab, presenting their research to Care Lab participants and to the broader community.
