The Fung Global Fellows Program Call for Applications for the 2025/2026 Academic Year is NOW OPEN Application Deadline: 15th November 2024 Eligible Countries: International To be Taken at (Country): Princeton University, USA About the Fung Global Fellows Program: The program brings exceptional international early-career faculty members working in the social sciences and the humanities to Princeton for a year of research, writing and collaboration. It is administered by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS), which serves as a site for integration and joint activity across all of the University’s international and area studies programs. The Fung Global Fellows Program will also examine rival world ideas that have challenged prevailing orthodoxies. Nowadays, with cooperative norms under challenge, global institutions under stress, and a century of guiding ideas about global convergence in doubt, we want to take a broad look at where these ideas came from, their effects, and the prospects for intellectual renewal or rethinking. Type: Fellowship Number of Awards: Not specified Selection Criteria: Each year the Fung Global Fellows Program selects scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. The number of candidates hired will depend on the qualifications of the overall applicant pools.

Early career and postdoctoral scholars will be selected to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year; senior scholars will be selected to be in residence at Princeton between three to ten months during the academic year.
