Given the strength of the applicant pool, most successful Fellows have published a first book or have similar achievements in their own fields; the Hodder is designed to provide Fellows with the "studious leisure" to undertake significant new work. Hodder Fellows spend an academic year at Princeton, but no formal teaching is involved. A $75,000 stipend is provided. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree. One need not be a U.S. citizen to apply.

Applications must be submitted by October 1, 2013, EST. Applicants must apply online through the Princeton Jobs site at http://jobs.princeton.edu, Requisition #1300448.

Princeton University - Princeton Fellowships in the Creative and Performing Arts
Princeton University invites applications for the Princeton Fellowships in the Creative and Performing Arts. Princeton Fellowships in the Creative and Performing Arts, funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching. Applicants should be early career poets, novelists, choreographers, playwrights, designers, performers, directors, and performance artists -- this list is not meant to be exhaustive -- who would find it beneficial to spend two years working in an artistically vibrant university community.

Because our inaugural fellows are in the fields of Music and Visual Arts, this year we will only be accepting applications for Theater, Creative Writing, and Dance.

Fellowships are for two 10-month academic years. Fellows will be in residence for academic years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 at Princeton, interacting with our students, faculty and staff as part of the Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music. The normal work assignment will be to teach one course each semester subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, but fellows may be asked to take on an artistic assignment in lieu of a class, such as directing a play or creating a dance with students. Although the teaching load is light, our expectation is that Fellows will be full and active members of our community, committed to frequent and engaged interactions with students during the academic year. While Fellows need not reside in Princeton, they will be required to spend a significant part of the week on campus. This Fellowship cannot be used to fund work leading to a Ph.D. or any other advanced degree. Holders of Ph.D. degrees from Princeton are not eligible to apply.

Applicants must apply online at http://jobs.princeton.edu, Rquisition #1300450 by October 1, 2013, EST. All applicants must submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of 500-750 words about how you would hope to use the two years of the fellowship at this moment in your career, and contact information for three references. Please indicate in your cover letter what program you wish your application to be reviewed by: Theater, Creative Writing, or Dance. In addition, poets and novelists are requested to submit a 3,000 word writing sample of recent work; performers such as choreographers are requested to submit examples of ten minutes of performance through link(s) to sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Flicker, etc.). This information can be included in your cover letter. We cannot confirm receipt of applications nor can we accept applications postmarked after the deadline. Restrictions on the statement size (500-750 words) and sample size (3,000 words) are strict. As of this application deadline, applicants will only be allowed to apply for the Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship twice in a lifetime.

Appointments will be made at a professional specialist rank; in addition, successful candidates will be appointed as lecturers when they are doing formal teaching and/or advising.

Interviews of finalists will take place on campus the week of December 2-7, 2013.

Essential Qualifications: Selection will be based on artistic achievement; the potential for excellent teaching; and the likelihood of significant contributions to the artistic life of the Princeton community.

Preferred Qualifications: Advanced degree preferred

Re: ArtSEARCH. Are there really no academic jobs listed yet there, or is something wrong with my search parameters. I usually just type in "theatre" and pull down the Education tab. Currenly the latest post is from early July.
 * I would just do a simple search with no parameters and sort through the recent listings yourself. Sometimes teaching jobs are not accurately categorized by ArtSearch in the Education section. Also, keep in mind we are in that transitional period where there are fewer current listings because hiring is (hopefully) done for the 2013-14 academic year and tenure-track listings for 2014-15 will become more frequent as faculty (and consequently, search committees) return to campus and begin their powwows.

ARTSEARCH seems to now have "Spotlight Listings" that appear first, which is what you might be looking at. If you scroll down further you should see the actual ARTSEARCH search results
 * ArtSearch has changed their layout. There's a chunk of featured gigs at the top, then a gap, then the rest. Just scroll down. Confused me for a bit too. (8/3)
 * Original poster here--thank you! Glad to see there are more listed than I thought. Misleading spotlight layout, I think.
