The Princeton Society of Fellows, an interdisciplinary group of scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and selected natural sciences, invites applications for the 2011-2014 Fellowship competition.
Five three-year Postdoctoral Fellowships will be awarded this year. The stipend for academic year 2011-12 will be approximately $72,000. Fellows are provided with a shared office, a personal computer, a research account of $5000 a year, and access to university grants, benefits and other resources.
Fellows are expected to reside in or near Princeton during the academic year in order that they can attend weekly seminars and participate fully in the intellectual life of the Society.
All candidates will be informed of the status of their application by the end of January 2011. Interviews will take place in early February. The Society will reimburse the cost of travel and lodging associated with the interview. Names of fellowship winners will be posted on the Society of Fellows' website in July 2011.
Eligibility
* PhD degree requirements. Please note the Society's new dates of degree eligibility. These are firm dates with no exceptions.
a) Candidates already holding the PhD degree at time of application:
You must have received your degree between January 1, 2009 and October 1, 2010.
The receipt of the PhD is determined by the date on which you fulfilled all requirements for the degree at your institution, including the defense and filing of the dissertation.
b) Candidates who are ABD (all but dissertation) at time of application:
If you will not meet the October 1, 2010, deadline for receipt of PhD but are expected to have fulfilled all conditions for the degree, including defense and filing of dissertation, by June 15, 2011, you may still apply for a postdoctoral fellowship provided you have completed a substantial portion of the dissertation (approximately half). We ask that you include in your dossier a letter confirming your “progress to degree” from either your Department Chair or your Director of Graduate Studies (see details below).
Please note that candidates awarded a fellowship will be asked to provide a document from either the Registrar or Dean of their Graduate School by June 15, 2011, to confirm completion of all requirements for the PhD.
* Recipients of doctorates in Education (EdD or PhD degrees), doctorates of Jurisprudence, and holders of PhD degrees from Princeton University are not eligible to apply.
* If you have already applied to the Society of Fellows, you may not apply a second time. We therefore recommend that candidates wait until they have completed a substantial portion of the dissertation (approximately half) before applying.
* Fellowships will be awarded to candidates at the beginning of their academic career. Candidates must have already demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement and excellence in teaching. Their work should also show evidence of unusual promise. The Society has a particular interest in fostering innovative interdisciplinary approaches in the humanities and social sciences.
* US citizens and non-citizens, regardless of race, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability, are eligible to apply.
* Fellows must reside in or near Princeton during the academic year of their fellowship term in order that they can attend weekly seminars and other events on campus.
Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer and complies with applicable EEO and affirmative action regulations.
Application procedures
* There is no application fee.
* Only one set of dossier materials is necessary.
* It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure that all materials, including online application form, full dossier, three referee letters, and "progress to degree" letter (for ABD candidates), are submitted by the October 1, 2010 postmark deadline. Only complete applications will be considered.
* It is not necessary to send a transcript of graduate courses or grades.
* Please send only the items we have requested.
* Candidates who have previously applied for the Society of Fellows' postdoctoral fellowships may not re-apply.
* The dates for completion of the PhD degree - between Jan. 1, 2009 and Oct. 1, 2010 (for ABDs: June 15, 2011) - are strictly observed, with no exceptions.
The "completion" of the PhD is determined by the date on which you officially fulfilled all requirements for the degree at your institution, including defense and filing of dissertation.
Mailing instructions
* The "postmark deadline" is the date by which materials must be stamped by the Post Office. If you send your application by another mail service, please arrange for pick-up no later than the postmark deadline. A postcard acknowledging receipt of your application will be mailed by the end of October, to the address you have provided on your application.
* Please provide both surface mail and electronic addresses so that we can reach you easily. Advise us by email if either address changes before January 1, 2011.
* We strongly recommend that candidates, particularly those mailing from outside the US, use an expedited, tracking mail service to send their dossier.
* Please note that we do not accept faxed or emailed applications.
