This post is also available in: Français

The Harvard Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships program identifies and supports outstanding scholars early in their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with a mastery of the language and history or culture of countries or regions outside the United States or Canada. Their scholarship can elucidate national, comparative or transnational problems, past or present.

Applications from qualified individuals are welcome, regardless of nationality, sex or race.

Eligibility

This program is only open to recent PhD holders and doctoral candidates in social sciences and law.
