Princeton International Economics Section Fellowships

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.

How to Apply

Applications for the IES Postdoctoral Fellowship should be submitted online through AHire. Use Requisition D-24-ECO-00008.

Applications will be reviewed beginning in early December. While applications will be considered until the positions are filled, interested applicants are encouraged to apply by February 15, 2024. Most years, researchers selected for the IES Postdoctoral Fellowship have also secured a permanent position to begin at the end of the fellowship. Those applying to the fellowship should apply on AHire as they continue a search for a permanent position.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae and their job-market paper or papers. In addition, postdoctoral applicants should have three confidential letters of recommendation emailed to ies@princeton.edu.

Additional questions can also be directed to Sharon Ernst at sernst@princeton.edu.
