Institute for Advanced Study — School of Historical Studies Opportunities

General Memberships are available for Term I (20 September–17 December 2027), Term II (10 January–14 April 2028), or the full academic year. The School states funding of up to $40,000 for a single term and up to $80,000 for a full academic year; these are maximum limits, not guaranteed stipend amounts. Incoming Members from outside the Princeton area can receive limited travel reimbursement under School rules. Eligible applicants can also be considered simultaneously for specified Mellon or postdoctoral fellowships where their circumstances and research field meet the additional requirements.

Applicants must have a substantial publication record and a PhD or equivalent awarded no later than 31 July 2026. A current institutional affiliation is not required, and qualified candidates of any nationality are invited. Members are expected to reside at the Institute or in the immediate Princeton area during their term(s).
