Call for Applications: Weatherhead
Scholars Program 2022–2023
The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs invites visiting faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and experienced practitioners to apply to the Weatherhead
Scholars Program for academic year 2022–2023. During their time in residence, scholars and fellows are expected to present their research in biweekly Weatherhead Scholars
seminars; participate in the biweekly WCFIA Forum; contribute to some of the Center’s many other intellectual activities, including research clusters and/or Epicenter; and engage with the undergraduate and graduate student communities. Scholars and fellows
will have a desk in a shared office and access to Harvard’s vast library system. They may also audit courses with the instructor’s permission. Faculty and postdoctoral applicants must possess a PhD at the time of application, and all applicants must agree
to be in residence for a minimum of four months (at least three of these during the academic year). See attached brochure.
• Visiting Faculty: We will consider faculty in the social sciences from other universities and programs, as well as academics employed by
think tanks. They should be able to secure their own funding from sabbatical salary or external grants.
• Postdoctoral Researchers: We will consider individuals who have obtained their PhDs in the last three calendar years, or who will have defended
by the start of their academic appointment. Some postdoctoral fellowship funding is available through the Weatherhead Center (see below).
• Experienced Practitioners: We will consider practitioners with an established record of professional achievement, including civil servants,
heads of NGOs, and journalists, among others. All Visiting Fellows are expected to pursue a research project.
Applications should be submitted online by November 1, 2021 at
11:59 pm.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
Two funded postdoctoral fellowship opportunities will be available in 2022–2023 through the Weatherhead
Scholars Program:
1) The Raphael Morrison Dorman fellowship supports up to four postdoctoral fellows annually (stipend plus health insurance).
2) Thanks to generous support from the Greek Republic, a new one-year fellowship (stipend plus health insurance) is available for a postdoctoral fellow from any
discipline studying the role of Southern European countries in the promotion of economic and cultural cooperation with Africa.
Interested candidates for either fellowship are invited to apply to
the Weatherhead Scholars Program by the deadline of November 1. We will consider all WSP postdoctoral
applications for funding from both sources.
