LGBT Postdoctoral Fellowship

Postdoctoral Fellowships for 2008-2011

Application postmark deadline: October 8, 2007

The Princeton Society of Fellows, an interdisciplinary group of scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and selected natural sciences, invites applications for the 2008-2011 fellowship competition.

Five fellowships will be awarded:
• two Open fellowships (all disciplines represented in the Society of Fellows)
• one fellowship in Judaic Studies
• one fellowship in LGBT Studies
• one fellowship in Race and/or Ethnicity Studies

Applicants for any of the specialized fellowships may also apply for an Open fellowship. Please see website (listed below) for application details and relevant disciplines.

Hosted jointly by the Humanities Council and academic departments, Postdoctoral Fellows pursue their research and teach half-time for a term of three years. The postdoctoral fellowship carries with it an appointment as Lecturer. In each of the first two years, Fellows typically teach one course each semester, following the requirements of the fellowship. In their third year, Fellows teach only one course while remaining in residence in Princeton.

Fellows must reside in or near Princeton during the academic year. The stipend for 2008-2009 will be approximately $66,500. Non-US citizens may apply. Recipients of Ph.D. degrees from Princeton University are not eligible.

• Selection is based on scholarly excellence, range and quality of teaching experience, and
potential contributions to an interdisciplinary community.

• Candidates must have received their Ph.D. degree between Jan.1, 2005 and October 8, 2007.
Exception: those candidates who will not meet the October 8, 2007 deadline but expect to have fulfilled all conditions for the Ph.D. degree by June 15, 2008 may apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship with the support of a letter of confirmation from their department chair. See website for details.

• Candidates are asked to submit an application form (online) and a full dossier, postmarked by October 8, 2007.
