Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies calls for applications Fung Global Fellows Program 2022-23. Fung Global Fellows Program for the Early Career and Postdoctoral fellowships are for the entire academic year, from September 2021 to June 2022.

Postdoctoral Scholars

Eligible postdoctoral scholars must have completed all requirements for their Ph.D. before September 1, 2022 but cannot have more than two years of postdoctoral experience prior to the start of the appointment, September 1, 2022. The receipt of the Ph.D. is determined by the date on which all requirements for the degree at the applicant’s home institution, including the defense and filing of the dissertation, were fulfilled.

Upon providing verification that they have completed all requirements for the Ph.D., they would then be promoted in rank and salary.
