The candidate will be expected to conduct three sections of a non-credit senior thesis workshop in the Center’s undergraduate Values and Public Life (VPL) certificate program, under the supervision of the VPL faculty director. In addition, the candidate will work with the director to provide support for the Center’s VPL programming.

Applicants must not have held the degree for more than three years by that date. They may not be employed by another institution during the term of their Princeton appointment. Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant’s previous accomplishments, experience relevant to the undergraduate certificate program, and the promise of the proposed research project. Their capacity to serve as a teacher and mentor in the Center’s undergraduate program will also be taken into account. Term of Appointment The term of appointment is one year, preferably beginning September 1, 2016. Applicants are expected to be in residence for the duration of the appointment.
