Research Associate - Princeton, United States - Institute for Advanced Study
Description
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) is seeking a Research Associate to support the academic research projects of its Director, David Nirenberg, in the fields of the history of race and religion; and the history of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim relations.
The Research Associate will, as requested by the Director, conduct historical research in primary and secondary sources, develop and synthesize bibliographies, plan seminars and events, help prepare or edit manuscripts, and collaborate with a range of partners.
The Research Associate will also be encouraged to conduct research on their own post-doctoral projects.
The position is full time, but candidates preferring a part time position will also be considered, with appropriate adjustments to job duties.
Initial appointment is for one year, but may be renewed, subject to satisfactory performance and project need, for up to three years.
In support of the Director's Research Agenda (maximum 75%)
The Institute for Advanced Study retains the right to change or assign other duties to this position at any time.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package.
For consideration, please submit the following materials using this link:
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.
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.
