<th valign="top" class="">Description</th>
<td class="">The Wexler Lab at the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking a full-time postdoctoral fellow. This 12-month position will begin in fall 2019; there is a possibility
for renewal contingent upon funding. The fellow will work on an NIH-funded project that utilizes sociological methods—interviews and surveys—to study the ethical, legal and social implications of do-it-yourself and direct-to-consumer medicine and science,
with a particular (though not exclusive) focus on neurotechnology. Other current laboratory work includes an empirical neuroethics project to study patient perceptions of deep brain stimulation, and a machine learning project that investigates online health
forums in the context of pregnancy. <br class="">
<br class="">
The post-doctoral fellow will be able to participate fully in the life of the Department, which is among the world’s leading centers of bioethics research and teaching. The fellow will have full access to the intellectual resources of the Penn community. There
may be the potential for the fellow to obtain core training in bioethics by participating in a weekly bioethics proseminar led by the Department Chair and other faculty.
