The Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies at Princeton University invites applications for a limited number of Stanley J. Seeger Visiting Research Fellowships for scholars based in Greece or other international countries, who wish to spend time in residence at Princeton, pursuing research projects in the humanities or the social sciences, free of teaching and other obligations.

Fall term appointments are expected from September 1, 2027 until December 16, 2027 (3.5 months). Spring term appointments are expected from January 15, 2028 until May 16, 2028 (4 months). Summer appointments are expected from June 1, 2028 until August 16, 2028 (2.5 months). These fellowships are residential, and, therefore, fellows must be at Princeton at all times, devoting the majority of their time to research and writing. They are expected to participate in Hellenic Studies activities and the University's intellectual life. They present their work-in-progress at Hellenic Studies workshops and are encouraged to meet colleagues in their respective academic disciplines. They enjoy full access to the University's library, archival, and computing resources.

• (d) Hellenic studies scholars, irrespective of nationality, who hold regular faculty or research appointments at academic institutions in international countries other than Greece, and who specialize in Classical reception studies, Late Antique studies, Byzantine studies, or Modern Greek studies.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree.

Fellows normally receive a monthly salary of at least $5,290. The salary level may be adjusted if scholars receive outside funding. Fellows are offered modestly furnished, one-bedroom, non-smoking, and pet-free apartments. Fellows are responsible for their own visa, travel expenses, and arrangements.
