Job description

Postdoctoral Research Associate - Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies

Princeton, NJ

Salary Range

$65,000

Description

The Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies at Princeton University invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowships: (1) The Hannah Seeger Davis Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Hellenic Studies and (2) The Mary Seeger O'Boyle Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Hellenic Studies. Scholars in all humanities and social sciences disciplines are eligible to apply.

The appointment is expected to start on August 1, 2027 and end on August 1, 2028, with the possibility of renewal for a second year, following academic review, funding availability, and meeting all other requirements.

Candidates must have completed all requirements for the doctoral degree by February 1, 2027. Candidates must have no more than two years of post-Ph.D. research experience by the start date. Candidates may apply for reimbursement (up to $3,000 per academic year) for research-related expenses.

Fellows will be required to conduct research full-time and demonstrate the ability to be on campus daily to fulfill responsibilities related to in-person participation. This position is in-person on campus at Princeton University. Fellows are eligible to work remotely one day per week, subject to the requirement that it does not conflict with any events.

This position does not include reimbursement of relocation or housing expenses.

Candidates may have the opportunity to spend time at the Princeton Athens Center, conducting research during the summer (June/July) and/or winter (December/January).

Travel grants will be available via application. If awarded, the grant will be towards travel and lodging during time in residence at the Princeton Athens Center. These fellowships are intended for scholars in Hellenic Studies, with a special emphasis on Modern Greek Studies, Byzantine Studies, or Late Antique Studies, including their relation to the Classical tradition.

This postdoctoral research fellowship program aims to advance the scholarship of outstanding Hellenists at an early stage in their careers and thus strengthen the field of post-Classical Greek Studies in the United States and abroad.

These positions are not eligible for sponsorship of an H-1B visa requiring consular processing; other visa sponsorships (including H-1B visas not requiring consular processing) may be available, as appropriate.
