Applications for the Princeton Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts Fellowship Programme 2020-2023 are now open. 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 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.
Fellowship
- 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. The salary for 2020-2021 will be approximately $91,000.

- Applicants holding the Ph.D. at the time of application must have received the degree after January 1, 2018
