Faculty Fellows are appointed as Visiting Research Professors at Tulane University’s Murphy Institute, receive a salary of $70,000, and are eligible for faculty benefits, including medical insurance. While fellows will participate in seminars, lectures, and conferences organized by the Murphy Institute, they will be expected to devote most of their time to conducting their research.  

We encourage candidates from a broad range of disciplines to apply. Applicants must hold a doctorate in philosophy, economics, political theory, law, political economy, public health, or a related discipline at the time of application. Applicants must also hold a full-time college or university appointment at the time of application. Faculty Fellowships are open to full-time faculty at all ranks.
