Pembroke Center Postdoctoral Research Fellowships 2026-2027

Postdoctoral research fellowships hosted by the Pembroke Center at Brown University. Fellows live on campus for one year, conduct original research related to the theme “The Meanings of Merit: Labor, Categories of Difference, and the Creation of Knowledge,” teach undergraduate courses of their own design, participate in the Pembroke Seminar, and engage with faculty mentorship and broader scholarly activities.

Salary, research expense allowance, transition stipend, health and dental benefits

Recipients must have a PhD at the start of the fellowship and may not hold a tenured position; fellowships are awarded to scholars who have received their degrees from institutions other than Brown University within the last five years.

Applications require a CV, a cover letter linking the research project to the theme, a writing sample, and additional materials including project description, bibliography, letters of recommendation, and a course syllabus.
