Description
The Program in Law and Normative Thinking (PLANT) at Princeton University’s University Center for Human Values offers visiting residential fellowships for 2027–28 devoted to the study of law, broadly conceived. Faculty members of any discipline, legal practitioners, and independent scholars spend an academic year pursuing research, discussion, and scholarly collaboration on law and normative inquiry.
Fellows join Princeton’s scholarly community, participate in PLANT’s weekly seminar, and mentor the JD/PhD students who attend it. The program emphasizes the quality and significance of proposed research, fellows’ contributions to legal scholarship and practice, and their ability to contribute to legal studies at Princeton and the mission of the University Center for Human Values. This is not a postdoctoral or visiting assistant professor opportunity designed to launch young scholars into academic careers.
