The Fung Global Fellows Program is a reflection of Princeton University’s commitment to engage scholars throughout the world and inspire ideas which transcend borders. The program brings outstanding international early-career faculty members working in the social sciences and the humanities to Princeton for a year of research, writing and collaboration. The program is administered by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, which serves as a site for integration and joint activity across all of the University’s international and area programs.
Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program will select six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research, writing, and collaboration around a common theme. The program includes a public seminar series where the fellows will present their work to the University community. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process to scholars employed outside the United States who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement, exhibit unusual intellectual promise, and are still early in their careers.
This program is supported by a gift from William Fung, group chairman of Li & Fung, a Hong Kong-based multinational group of export and retailing companies. Fung earned a BSE in electrical engineering from Princeton in 1970 and an MBA from the Harvard Graduate School of Business in 1972 and then began his career at the family firm. Fung joined Princeton’s Board of Trustees in 2009, and has previously supported Princeton’s groundbreaking financial aid program.
Deadline: 1 November 2012
