Our Community

The John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics draws on the vast experience and resources of many people to fulfill its mission: to deepen academic and public understanding of religion and politics in the United States.

Fellows

We offer competitive postdoctoral fellowships to recent Ph.D.s seeking to join our community for up to two years. These fellows teach one undergraduate course per year and participate fully in the life of the center, while also pursuing their own research and scholarship. We also periodically welcome visiting research fellows into the life of the Center for teaching and research opportunities.
