Jordan Center Postdoctoral Fellowship

The NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia Post-Doctoral Fellowship program is designed to provide a transition to career independence for recent PhD recipients and to provide time to conduct post-PhD research. Fellows will conduct independent research and writing and regularly attend Jordan Center events.
