The Academy Scholars Program identifies and supports outstanding scholars 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.
WORTH
- Each year four to five Academy Scholars are named for two-year appointments. Academy Scholars are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for pre-approved research purposes.
- Postdoctoral Academy Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $67,000.
- Pre-doctoral Academy Scholars will receive an annual stipend of $31,000.
- This stipend is supplemented by funding for conference and research travel, research assistants, and health insurance coverage. Some teaching is permitted but not required.
ELIGIBILITY
- The Academy Scholars Program is open to scholars from all countries and citizenship.
- We consider applicants who are already enrolled in or who have recently completed a PhD or equivalent doctoral program in the social sciences.
- Pre doctoral candidates must have finished all field research and be in the writing stage of their dissertation at the time of application.
- If you have completed a PhD program, the PhD completion date must be within three years of our October 1 application deadline.
