There are no teaching obligations.

Researchers are expected to participate actively in the intellectual activities of Princeton University. Applicants must have received a Ph.D., preferably within the last 2 years (or expected by September 2026). The term of appointment is based on rank. Positions at the postdoctoral rank are for one year, with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding. Those hired at more senior ranks may have multi-year appointments.

This position is subject to the University's background check policy. This position is in-person and on-campus at Princeton University.

The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We actively seek colleagues of exceptional ability who represent a broad range of viewpoints, experience, and value systems and who share Princeton University's dedication to excellence and service.
