October 05, 2026

 

 

The mission of the 3-year Penn Postdoctoral Training Program in the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) of Genetics and Genomics, supported by a training grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute, is to prepare junior scholars for success as creative, independent investigators in the field of ELSI research. Fellows will participate fully in the life of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, which is among the world’s leading bioethics departments, and will engage with the outstanding genetic medicine, science, and ELSI communities at Penn. Fellows will receive a generous annual stipend, benefits, and funds for academic books and travel. When appropriate to their prior training and career goals, ELSI fellows may pursue a Master of Science in Medical Ethics to prepare them to compete for external funding in ELSI research. [Steven Joffe, MD, MPH](http://medicalethicshealthpolicy.med.upenn.edu/faculty-all/steven-joffe) directs the Fellowship.
