USA: Fellowships at Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University

Overview

Each year, the Radcliffe Institute welcomes a group of fellows from around the world—women and men, scientists, artists, historians, sociologists, economists, and literary scholars—who form a multidisciplinary community. Animated by important questions in fields ranging from genomics, to human rights, to poetics, to mathematics, the Institute is a place of intense intellectual engagement and great energy. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue their scholarly or artistic projects within a community that challenges them to think and to communicate in transformative ways.

Within its broad mandate to include all academic fields and the creative arts in its research and programs, the Institute sustains a special commitment to the study of women, gender, and society.

Cluster Applicants for the 2013–2014 Fellowship Year

The deadline to apply as a cluster is May 1, 2012.

As a fellowship cluster you would spend the year pursuing your cluster's research interests or project. The Institute encourages the inclusion of junior faculty. You can take a look at previous fellowship clusters here.

All members of the cluster (excluding creative artists) must have been awarded their doctorates by December, 2011. Only scholars who have published at least two articles in journals or edited collections or one refereed journal are eligible to apply. Please note specific eligibility requirements here.

In order to gain consideration to apply jointly, the convener(s) of such a group should submit:

a letter of intent (one to three pages) describing the group’s focus and aims
a list of participants
a copy of each participant's curriculum vitae

In June, the cluster convener will be notified on the status of their proposal.

Applicants are notified by e-mail of the results of the selection process in March.

Stipends are funded up to $70,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow's home institution.
