Since its founding in 2006, the Institute has invited between one and four postdoctoral fellows to join our faculty each year. The fellowship is intended to support the development of a junior scholar. Many of our former fellows now hold faculty positions in universities such as Duke, New York University, University of Virginia, and Cambridge, while others work in NGOs, public broadcasting, and the U.S. Department of State.

Fellows are expected to conduct their own research, teach one course per semester, and to participate in the academic life of the Institute. The postdoctoral fellowship is usually advertised in early Spring, and applications are accepted online at that time. An example of a recent position description can be viewed here.
