The Hodder Fellowship will be given to artists of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects with Princeton University during the 2026-2027 academic year. Potential Hodder Fellows are composers, choreographers, performance artists, visual artists, translators, writers, or other kinds of artists or humanists who are selected more "for promise than for performance" and have "much more than ordinary intellectual and literary gifts" as traditionally defined. Hodder Fellows spend an academic year with Princeton, but no formal teaching is involved. A $93,000 stipend is provided for this 10-month appointment as a Visiting Fellow. The Lewis Center is committed to fostering an academic environment that acknowledges and encourages community. The successful candidate will pursue academic excellence in University settings.
