Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships

The University Center invites applications from all disciplines for Laurance S.
Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships. These fellowships will be awarded for the
academic year 2006-07 to outstanding scholars and teachers interested in
devoting a year in residence at Princeton writing about ethics and human values.
A central activity for the Fellows is participation with University Center
faculty members in a Fellows Seminar to discuss work in progress. Fellows are
also invited to participate in other activities, including seminars, colloquia,
and public lectures. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide
range of activities throughout the University. Applicants typically have a
doctorate or a professional postgraduate degree and cannot be in the process of
writing a dissertation.

Fellows normally receive stipends of up to one-half their academic year salaries
(not exceeding a maximum stipend set each fall) for the fellowship period, which
extends from September 1 to July 1. The Fellows' home institutions are expected
to provide at least half of their salaries in addition to all benefits. A
selection committee of University Center faculty evaluates applicants on the
basis of:

The significance of their proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of
the University Center;
The quality of their previous research and their ability to benefit from the
activities of the University Center;
The contribution they are likely to make to higher education in the future
through teaching and writing about ethics and human values.

How to apply:

For Fellowships beginning in September 2006, applicants must submit all of the
following to be recieved by November 1, 2005:
A curriculum vitae;
A scholarly paper written in the past three years;
A statement (no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed research project;
An online information summary form;
Three letters of reference (at least one from someone who was not a dissertation
supervisor) sent directly to the University Center by November 1, 2005;
A confidential statement on a separate sheet that indicates the applicant's
salary for the current academic year, what financial support their home
institution and other sources are likely to provide, and what support they are
likely to need from the University Center.  This confidential information will
not be presented to the faculty committee.

All materials, including letters of reference, must be RECIEVED by November 1,
2005. The Selection Committee begins reviewing applications immediately, and
incomplete applications may be at a disadvantage.

Recipients of the Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships for 2006-07
will be announced by February 1, 2006.
