The Center for Culture, Society and Religion at Princeton University invites applications for one postdoctoral research associate or more senior research position for a one-year term to begin on September 1, 2023. This appointment may be renewed pending satisfactory performance and funding. Candidate must be a recent Ph.D. specializing in the study of religion in any discipline and should display interest and expertise in public-facing scholarship on religion. In addition to pursuing independent research, the fellow will work with the Center's project on "Religion and the Public Conversation," an initiative designed to a) equip Princeton students and faculty with skills to connect their research and expertise to contemporary discussions of religion in public discourse; b) develop and share norms and best practices for public-facing scholarship on religion through campus events; and c) produce and host web-based public-facing religious studies research in various media. The successful candidate will be expected to produce over the course of the first year, a significant public-facing media product under the Center's banner (using Princeton's media facilities). This project should occupy approximately the same time as would ordinarily be committed to teaching one course each semester. Examples of such products include a blog, a broadcast interview series, a podcast, an educational video or video series, or an online course/educational module. If the appointment is renewed for a second year, the fellow may continue to produce such media, or, alternatively, may have the opportunity to teach or team-teach one of the Center's course offerings, subject to sufficient enrollments and the approval of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty. During any semester of teaching, the candidate will carry a secondary rank of Lecturer. This position is subject to University's background check policy. How to Apply: Candidates are required to apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/29486 and submit the following documents: 1. A current curriculum vitae; 2. A proposal (not to exceed 500 words) for a public-facing media production as mentioned above. 3. A scholarly paper or dissertation chapter (not to exceed 10,000 words) that best represents the candidate's scholarly achievement or potential; 4. Sample(s) of candidate's own products of public-facing scholarship on religion (examples might include op-eds, videos, podcasts, blogs, etc.). 5.
