Applicants may be considered for more than one fellowship category pertinent to their research and teaching. Please see the Society’s website (sf.princeton.edu) for fellowship details, eligibility, disciplines, and application.
Appointed in the Council of the Humanities and academic departments for three years, fellows pursue their research, attend weekly seminars, and teach half-time as Lecturers. In each of the first two years, fellows teach one course per semester; in their third year, they teach only one course in either semester. The work location for these positions is in-person on campus at Princeton University. The appointment rank and term may be renewed annually.
Applicants holding the Ph.D. at the time of application must have received the degree after January 1, 2023. Applicants not yet holding the Ph.D. must have completed a substantial portion of the dissertation – at least half – at the time of application. Successful candidates must fulfill all requirements for the Ph.D., including filing of the dissertation, by June 15, 2025. Candidates for/recipients of doctoral degrees in Education, Jurisprudence, and from Princeton University are not eligible. Applicants may apply only once to the Princeton Society of Fellows.
Selection is based on exceptional scholarly achievement and evidence of unusual promise, range and quality of teaching experience, and potential contributions to an interdisciplinary community. The Society of Fellows seeks a diverse and international pool of applicants, and especially welcomes those from underrepresented backgrounds.
Applicants are asked to submit an online application by August 6, 2024 (11:59 p.m. ET).
