Requisition: D-20-LCA-00008
Princeton Arts Fellows, funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching.
Open to early-career artists in theater, dance, music, creative writing and visual arts demonstrating extraordinary promise. Fellowships are for two academic years (2021-2023) with an $84,000 salary for each year spent interacting with our students, faculty, and staff as part of the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music. The department is committed to fostering an academic environment that acknowledges and encourages diversity and differences. The successful candidate will pursue academic excellence in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings.
Applicants must submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of 500 words about how you would hope to use the two years of the fellowship at this moment in your career, and contact information for three references (should the search committee choose to contact references, please do not request letters or have letters sent in advance of a request from the search committee). In addition, work samples should be submitted online (i.e., a writing sample, images of your work, video links to performances, etc.)
Princeton Arts Fellows may not hold concurrent teaching positions at other institutions for the duration of the fellowship and this fellowship cannot be used to fund work leading to a Ph.D. or any other advanced degree. Holders of Ph.D. degrees from Princeton are not eligible to apply.
