Application Deadline: the deadline of November 15, 2007 has passed. Please consult the Website for updated information on the next cycle.

The Institute is an independent private institution founded in 1930 to create a community of scholars focused on intellectual inquiry, without the obligations and distractions associated with the teaching of undergraduates.  Scholars from around the world come to the Institute to pursue their own research.  Those chosen are offered membership for a set period and a stipend.  The Institute provides access to extensive resources including offices, libraries, subsidized restaurant and housing facilities, and some secretarial services. 

Open to all fields of historical research, the School of Historical Studies' principal interests are the history of western, near eastern and far eastern civilizations, with particular emphasis upon Greek and Roman civilization, the history of Europe (medieval, early modern, and modern), the Islamic world, East Asian studies, the history of art, the history of science, modern international relations, and music studies.  

Candidates of any nationality may apply for a singe term or a full academic year.  Residence in Princeton during term time is required.  The only other obligation of Members is to pursue their own research.  To be eligible scholars must have the Ph.D. (or equivalent) and substantial publications.
