About this position
Princeton University's Initiatives on Contemporary European Affairs (ICEA) hosts a Visiting Research Scholar Program for faculty members applying to spend their 2027-2028 academic leave year with ICEA. ICEA welcomes applications from social scientists who specialize in comparative politics and whose research includes a focus on European politics. ICEA visiting scholar positions are restricted to employed scholars on leave who are expected to return to their positions. Visiting scholars will pursue research and contribute to the intellectual life of ICEA, the Department of Politics, and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. To fully participate in the daily intellectual life of the university, they will be required to be in residence in Princeton or the local vicinity, or to demonstrate to the program's satisfaction the ability to be on campus on a daily basis and on short notice. Visiting scholars will normally receive a stipend of one-half of their academic year salary. This will be calculated based on the amount of support that each individual expects to receive from their home institution but will normally not exceed $100,000. Selected candidates will be asked to indicate, or provide written authorization for Princeton to confirm, what percentage of financial support their home institution and other sources are likely to provide during their visit, if any, and to submit a confidential statement indicating salary for the current academic year (September 1, 2027 - June 1, 2028) or provide written authorization for Princeton to confirm their salary; they will also be asked to provide a statement of their home institution's leave policy. Successful candidates will receive applicable benefits, travel to and from Princeton, and a research allowance.
