Princeton University issues an annual call for applications for the Future Faculty in the Physical Sciences (FFPS) Fellowship. 

We aim to appoint a diverse cohort of early-career scientists who will conduct research in physics, broadly defined to include the subdisciplines of astrophysics, biophysics, geophysics, and planetary physics, independently or in collaboration with Princeton faculty and members of the University community. 

The Fellowship fosters research excellence at Princeton by bringing together scholars with unique backgrounds and insights, including those from groups that have been historically, and are presently, under-represented in physics and related fields. 

Candidates who have demonstrated a strong commitment to broadening participation in physics, or the physical sciences more generally, through teaching, advising, mentoring, advocacy, or public outreach are especially encouraged to apply. 

FFPS Fellows will have a primary home in the Departments of Physics, Astrophysical Sciences, or  Geosciences, and will be part of an actively mentored research community across institutional affiliations, which may include the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, the Center for the Physics of Biological Function, the Princeton Gravity Initiative, and other Centers and Programs. 

The Fellowship includes an annual research fund. The expected starting date is generally September 1, although this may be flexible.
