About this position

The Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida is inviting applications for two Postdoctoral Fellowships beginning August 2027.

This opportunity is especially relevant for scholars working in English literature, intellectual history, political theory, theology and religion, philosophy, political science, and strategic studies. The fellowship supports ambitious research in an interdisciplinary community focused on enduring questions of human nature, political order, religion, literature, history, war, statecraft, and the ideas and institutions shaping Western civilization and the American experience.

The appointment is two years, residential, and designed to maximize research productivity and publication output. Teaching is optional rather than required, and fellows receive structured mentoring, job-market advising, and participation in seminars and visiting-speaker events. The position is based in Gainesville, Florida, United States.

Funding: salaries begin at approximately $80,000, with benefits and $5,000 research support. Fellows are also eligible for the UnitedHealthcare Student Health Insurance Plan.

Eligibility: applicants must have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree by June 2027. Candidates who earned the doctorate after June 2023 are eligible to apply.

Application materials: cover letter, CV, research statement (3–5 single-spaced pages), writing sample (up to 40 single-spaced pages), and three referees with contact information. Review begins immediately and continues until the position is filled.

Contact: Paul C.H. Lim, Professor of Humanities and Associate Director for Faculty Affairs, Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, University of Florida.
