Position: Visiting Fellows in Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities Description: The Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities is seeking visiting researchers and/or visiting professional specialists for the 2025-26 academic year. Appointment rank will be determined based on the applicant's qualifications at the time of appointment. The Princeton Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities is an interdisciplinary program that combines the efforts of a diverse group of faculty, programs, and schools to develop a dynamic understanding of urban issues past, present, and future. Its theme, Cities on the Edge, encompasses several interrelated concepts, including the juncture of built/natural environmental studies, center/ periphery, hemispheric comparatives, migration, New Jersey urbanism, social justice, the humanities as a force of change, and the margin as a place of radical possibility. Additional information about its themes and program may be found at https://arc-hum.princeton.edu/. With approval from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty, we seek to appoint fellows with an abiding interest in multi-disciplinary work focused on the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and the humanities. Candidates can come from any discipline. They may be academics, designers, and/or practicing writers or artists. The individual may teach or team-teach an interdisciplinary course on some aspect of urbanism (contingent upon sufficient enrollments and approval from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty) and participate in Initiative events. Fields of specialization might include (but are not limited to) the humanistic dimensions of architecture, architectural history, design, urban planning, public policy, urban studies, environmental studies, science and technology studies, geography, history, philosophy, art history, material culture, politics, sociology, anthropology, literature, religion, cultural studies, queer studies, race and ethnicity studies, gender studies, performance studies, visual arts, documentary studies, photography, and creative writing. Fellows may focus on any geographic area. We particularly encourage applications from scholars whose work incorporates the themes of the Initiative as well as the Princeton University Humanities Council and the School of Architecture. More information can be found here https://humanities.princeton.edu/ and https://soa.princeton.edu/.
