Position Summary: During the academic years 2016/17 and 2017/18, the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies will focus on the topic of "Risk and Fortune." Notions of risk have been important to human societies for centuries.

Conversely, good fortune has had its talismans and theorists throughout history. How have different cultures tried to tame chance, or comprehend its whims? To what degree have the practices of commerce relied upon, or alternatively reified, risk? Do technological systems generate hazards they are not capable of controlling? This two-year seminar will bring together scholars working on risk and fortune in historical societies around the world, in topics including (but not restricted to) economics, science, religion, industry, statistics, and agriculture.Applicants must apply online and submit a CV, cover letter, research proposal, abstract of proposal, and contact information for three rerences. Application deadline is December 1, 2015.

Essential Qualifications: The Center will offer a limited number of research fellowships for one or two semesters, running from September to January and from February to June. Early career scholars must have their doctoral degrees in hand at the time of the application. Fellows are expected to live in Princeton in order to take an active part in the intellectual interchange with other members of the Seminar. Funds are limited, and candidates are, therore, strongly urged to apply to other grant-giving institutions as well as the Center if they wish to come for a full year.
