Overview
The School of Social Science each year invites as Members up to twenty visiting scholars who constitute a genuinely interdisciplinary and international group. A completed doctorate or equivalent is required by the application deadline, and memberships are awarded at both the junior and senior levels. Memberships are awarded for the full academic year only. Visiting Members are expected to pursue only their own research, while the School organizes a weekly seminar at which Members as well as invited guests present their ongoing work. The School is not wedded to any particular intellectual or disciplinary approach. It welcomes applications in economics, political science, law, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It encourages social scientific work with a historical and humanistic bent and also considers applications in history, philosophy, literary criticism, literature, and linguistics. The following thematic focus is neither an exclusive nor excluding theme; it is expected that only onethird of the accepted scholars will pursue work relating to this theme. Applications are strongly encouraged from scholars across the social sciences, whether or not their research corresponds to the theme.
Theme 2011--2012: MORALITIES
Moral issues–viewed broadly–have become crucial in the public sphere. Whether they concern abortion, stem cell research, defense of human rights, control of immigration, penal treatment of delinquency, social responses to poverty, humanitarian justifications for war or interpretation of the financial crisis, moral arguments and moral sentiments are constantly mobilized in policy decisions. The inscription of this recent evolution in a longer history of the formation of moral subjectivities certainly needs to be explored. Similarly, encounters and conflicts between moral models should be analyzed.
Value of this fellowship
Funding for Members Stipends are individually negotiated, taking into account the applicant’s base salary and the level of sabbatical and other grant support he or she can secure. In setting compensation, the School attempts to provide half of the current academic base salary for all Members, up to a maximum of $65,000.
Writing Samples
The application requires submission of a writing sample. A single sample is preferred, although up to three will be accepted. The School would prefer that such samples be uploaded; all uploads must be in Adobe Acrobat format. If you must send hard-copy, such as a book, please indicate your intention to do so on the application and mail it with a cover letter to: School of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study, Einstein Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540. Note that it will not be returned.
References
Please send your project statement along with a copy of our referee instructions to your three referees. Instruct them to email your reference letters as a PDF attachment to sssrecs@ias.edu, and to put “Reference for YOUR NAME” in the subject line. Also, remind them to be sure to include their own name, title and institution within their letter. Reference emails must be received by November 1.
