Princeton University Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026, USA (Fully Funded)

The 2026 Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows Program at Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment is currently accepting applications, with appointments starting as early as June 2026. Outstanding early-career scholars committed to tackling pressing global issues in energy, environmental sustainability, technology, and policy are the target audience for this prestigious program.

A $75,000 yearly salary, a $3,000 travel and professional development stipend, and full health insurance are all included in the fellowship’s fully supported job. In addition to receiving committed mentoring from top faculty, fellows will have access to Princeton’s state-of-the-art research facilities. Fellows are able to work across engineering, scientific, and policy disciplines because the program promotes multidisciplinary collaboration.
