Peter W. Singer, a post-doctoral fellow at the Brookings Institution...

I was just wondering, is this the Peter Singer, Bioethics Chair of Princeton University?

You know, the guy who rationalizes infanticide as just being a late-late term abortion?

The guy who thinks it should be A-OK to snuff your own kiddies up until their second birthday?

Just wonderin'

Not likely; a post-doc fellowship is a loooong way down from a Chair. After the Ph.D. degree is awarded, usually people take a post-doc for a while. The post-doc is a period of research under the direction of a professor, much like graduate school, but with more freedom and self-reliance. During this time, a job search is also conducted, leading to a faculty position.
