Princeton University Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Fellowship 2023/2026

Two or three Open Fellowships in any discipline represented in the Society

Humanistic Studies

East Asian Studies

Race and Ethnicity Studies

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.

Requirements

• Applicants already holding the Ph.D. degree at the time of their application must have received their degree between January 1, 2021 and August 2, 2022. Priority will be given to applicants who have received no more than one year of research-only funding past the Ph.D. degree.
• The receipt of the Ph.D. is determined by the date on which all requirements for the degree, including the defense and filing of the dissertation, were fulfilled.
• Applicants with a Ph.D. will be asked to upload a document to the application site with evidence of completion of all requirements for the Ph.D. degree (either the formal Ph.D. certificate, an official transcript, or a degree confirmation letter by the advisor).
• Applicants who are ABD (All But Dissertation) at the time of their application:  Applicants who do not meet the August 2, 2022 deadline for receipt of their Ph.D., but are expected to have fulfilled all conditions for the degree by June 15, 2023, including defense and filing of dissertation, may still apply for a postdoctoral fellowship, provided they have completed a substantial portion of their dissertation (at least half).

Benefits

• Fellows receive a competitive salary and benefits, a $5,000 research account, access to university grants, a shared office, a desktop 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.
