- Fellowships: Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies Scholars Program
-- The Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies Scholars Program seeks to identify and support outstanding scholars who are at the start of their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with a command of the language, history or culture of non-Western countries or regions. Their scholarship may elucidate domestic, comparative, or transnational issues, past or present. The Academy Scholars are a select group of individuals who show promise of becoming leading scholars at major universities or international institutions. The competition for these awards is open only to recent Ph.D. (or comparable professional school degree) recipients and doctoral candidates. Pre-doctoral applicants must have completed all course work and general examinations at the time of application and are expected to have made significant progress on their dissertations.
-- Academy Scholars are appointed and supported by the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies and are provided time, guidance, access to Harvard facilities, and substantial financial assistance as they work for two years conducting either post-doctoral or final-stage dissertation research in their chosen fields and areas. Some teaching is permitted but not required. The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve their intellectual potential. Post-doctoral Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $48,000, and pre-doctoral Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $28,000. Applications for the 2009-2010 class of Academy Scholars are due by October 10, 2008. Finalist interviews will take place in Cambridge December 12, 2008. Notification of Scholarships will be made in January, 2009. For complete information on how to apply visit: http://www.wcfia.harvard.edu/academy/
