THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY (IAS) is one of the world's leading international centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. Each year, IAS assembles more than 250 visiting researchers capable of generating—through their talent, proximity, collaboration, critique, and conversation—insights and discoveries that could not otherwise have been produced. The Institute's academic community is drawn from more than 100 institutions around the world and is composed of scholars from postdoctoral fellows at the beginning of their research careers to distinguished senior academics who continue to shape fields of inquiry. Research spans four Schools—Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science—and is focused on curiosity-driven exploration and fundamental discovery.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement
At the Institute for Advanced Study's creation in 1930, the founders wrote: "fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, [is] that in the appointments to the Staff and Faculty as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex." We recognize these ideals require continual examination of our culture. Today, we strive to create a community in which all people feel welcomed, respected, and valued. We seek to address the harmful effects of inequity and discrimination on individual Scholars, Faculty, Staff, and scholarship as a whole. We affirm equality and embrace our differences as we work to transform principles into action and grow new forms of scholarly community.
