UCHV - Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships
Organization: Princeton University Center for Human Values
The University Center for Human Values invites applications from all disciplines for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships. These fellowships will be awarded to outstanding scholars and teachers interested in devoting a year in residence at Princeton writing about ethics and human values. A central activity for the fellows is participation with center faculty members in a Fellows Seminar to discuss work in progress. Fellows are also invited to participate in other activities, including seminars, colloquia, and public lectures. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities throughout the University. Applicants typically have a doctorate or a professional postgraduate degree and cannot be in the process of writing a dissertation.Fellows normally receive stipends of up to one-half their academic year salaries (not exceeding a maximum stipend set each fall) for the fellowship period, which extends from September 1 to July 1. The fellows' home institutions are expected to provide at least half of their salaries in addition to all benefits. A selection committee of University Center for Human Values faculty evaluates applicants on the basis of: * The significance of their proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the center; * The quality of their previous research and their ability to benefit from the activities of the center; * The contribution they are likely to make to higher education in the future through teaching and writing about ethics and human values.
