The Princeton Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts, Call for applications | postdoctoral fellowships for 2020-23
The Princeton Society of Fellows, an interdisciplinary group of scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and selected natural sciences, calls for fellowship applications annually. Three to five postdoctoral fellows are appointed each year for three-year terms in residence to pursue research and teach half-time in their academic host department, the Program in Humanistic Studies, or other university programs. The fellowships carry with them an appointment as lecturer in a fellow’s academic host department. Fellows are provided with a competitive salary, benefits, a $5,000 research account, access to university grants, a shared office, a personal computer and other resources. Fellows are expected to reside in or near Princeton during the academic year in order to attend weekly seminars and participate fully in the intellectual life of the Society.
For the 2020-2023 fellowship competition, five fellowships will be awarded; applicants have the option to apply for more than one fellowship pertinent to their research and teaching. The application deadline is August 6, 2019 (11:59 p.m. EST). Please note that, for 2019 and future years, the Society of Fellows’ application deadline is to be the first Tuesday of August, in anticipation of Princeton University’s new academic calendar.
