The ISM integrates the study and practice of religion with music and the arts to build bridges among disciplines and vocations and to make creative space for scholarship, performance, and practice.

Postdoctoral associates undertake a substantive and original project that relates to the ISM’s mission, which may include original scholarship, an art exhibition, a musical composition, or a work of creative writing.

Stipends for postdoctoral associates range between $68,500 and $79,500 (depending on teaching duties) plus health benefits. Fellows may apply for research funds, and the Institute will reimburse reasonable moving expenses. These fellowships are typically one-year in duration. Teaching one course is required for Postdoctoral Associates.

Eligibility

Candidates are eligible to apply as Postdoctoral Associates if they have fewer than six years of related experience following the terminal degree and are not yet employed as full-time regular faculty. Fellows are expected to live within a five-mile radius of campus.
