Affiliations for Faculty
The Joukowsky Institute encourages both formal and informal collaborations with faculty throughout Brown University.
Former Faculty
Since its founding in 2006, the Institute has invited between one and four postdoctoral fellows to join our faculty each year. The fellowship is intended to support the development of a junior scholar. Many of our former fellows now hold faculty positions in universities such as Duke, New York University, University of Virginia and Cambridge, while others work in NGOs, public broadcasting and the U.S. Department of State.
