Louisville Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship

2 years

$30,000 annual stipend plus additional benefits

Applicants must have completed all Ph.D. or Th.D. work and received their degree by the time the postdoctoral fellowship begins in September. Preference will be given to recent Ph.D./Th.D. graduates. Former LI Dissertation Fellows are eligible to apply for the Postdoctoral Fellowship. Scholars from the U.S. and Canada are eligible to apply, and the fellowship can be assigned to theological schools, colleges, or universities in the U.S. or Canada.

Applicants should describe their commitment to the Christian church and theological education and suggest how their doctoral work has prepared them appropriately for a career in theological school teaching. Applicants may represent a variety of academic disciplines, including, but not limited to, history, ethics, the social sciences, biblical studies, historical, systematic, and practical theology, as well as interdisciplinary studies.

In all its grantmaking, including the Postdoctoral Fellowship program, the Louisville Institute is interested in funding persons and projects with the potential to strengthen the religious life of North American Christians and their institutions while simultaneously advancing North American religious and theological scholarship.

Members of the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary Board, staff, or student body — including immediate family members (parents, spouse, or children) – are not eligible to apply.
