Fellowships

Princeton University's Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP) hosts post-doctoral or more senior research associates each academic year, whose work focuses on empirical research on democratic political processes and institutions. CSDP fellows pursue research and contribute to the intellectual life of the Center, the Department of Politics, and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

Application Information

CSDP is not currently accepting visiting scholar/postdoc fellowship applications. Those who applied prior to the deadline can anticipate email notification of decisions in February. We expect to be posting an invitation to apply for the next academic year by mid-October.  Please note that The Center for the Study of Democratic Politics (CSDP) at Princeton University does not sponsor or host visiting scholars other than those selected for ten-month appointments through this annual competitive application process. CSDP hosts Visiting Scholars/post-docs (selected through this competitive application process) only for appointments from September 1 to July 1. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, Visiting Research Scholar positions (for current faculty applying to spend their leave year with CSDP) for 2021-2022 have been put on hold until January 2021 when the university hopes to re-evaluate these positions. A URL will be provided here if the Visiting Research Scholar application process re-opens for 2021-2022.
