Description: The James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University is dedicated to the pursuit of scholarly excellence in the fields of constitutional law and political thought. Sponsored by Princeton's Department of Politics, the Program seeks to enrich the intellectual life of Princeton students and faculty by exploring American constitutional principles and structures through research and public discussion. The Program invites recent Ph.D. recipients, or recipients who anticipate receiving their Ph.D., to apply for appointments as Postdoctoral Research Associates for the anticipated year from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2026. Appointments will be through the Department of Politics.
