Term of Appointment

The term of the fellowship is one year, beginning September 1, 2019, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years pending satisfactory performance. Appointment will be made to the rank of Postdoctoral Research Associate; the Shapiro Fellow will also carry the title of Lecturer when teaching. Princeton University offers competitive salary and employee benefits.
