Microsabbaticals at Princeton Psychology provide a several-week-long visit to our department for early-career faculty. The program focuses on scholars from groups that are historically under-represented in academia or currently at under-resourced institutions, but applications are invited from all early-career faculty. The program focuses on professional development such as creating a long-term mentoring relationship, developing a skill, and/or starting a research collaboration with faculty in our department.
Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
