Go international

The Polonsky Academy for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences, established by Dr. Leonard Polonsky in 2014, is one of the newest international fellowship programs worldwide that aims to produce cutting-edge research in these fields.

Each year, the Polonsky Academy awards up to seven postdoctoral fellowships, tenable for up to four years, to outstanding international scholars working in any field of the humanities and social sciences.

The 2024 call for applications is now open.

Princeton IES Postdoctoral Fellowships are available to those who have recently completed their Ph.D. degree or will do so before arriving in Princeton. Most fellows begin their fellowship having already secured a permanent position for the following year.

Postdoctoral Fellows conduct their own research on topics in international economics and participate in the intellectual life of the department. They receive a fixed stipend, a package of benefits, and a modest allocation for research expenses.

Our fellowship program is the cornerstone of our support for humanistic research. Our fellows spend a year in residence working to advance a major research project in dialogue with each other and with our annual theme. We invite applications from candidates who are eager to be part of a community engaged in innovative and interdisciplinary conversations. Our undergraduate honors fellowships, dissertation completion fellowships, and residential faculty fellowships are open to our Emory community. Our visiting faculty fellowships are open to faculty at institutions in the metro-Atlanta area.

The Louis Frieberg Center for East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem offers post-doctoral fellowships for the year 2025-2026. The fellowships are open to scholars in the humanities and social sciences specializing in East Asia, especially China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia.

The Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry (FCHI) at Emory University seeks applications for its postdoctoral fellowship program. The program will host three fellows whose work advances our Center’s annual theme “Democracy: Past, Present, Future.” Fellows will participate in a weekly interdisciplinary seminar, help to plan a Spring conference, and teach one undergraduate course of their own design.

The Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS) is seeking candidates from any discipline who are engaged in scholarly research on topics related to Latin American Studies, including the Caribbean and Brazil, to fill Postdoctoral Research Associate or more senior research positions. Candidates will be expected to devote themselves to research and writing, and may teach not more than one course per semester.

Fellows will receive a dedicated working space in the museum’s Reference Library and are encouraged to participate in events and programs at the museum, and to engage with the scholarly community of the university. They are also able to take advantage of the extensive collections at other Yale museums and libraries.
