Application deadline: the deadline of October 15, 2007 has passed
Each year, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences welcomes fellowship applications from untenured junior faculty and postdoctoral scholars who are interested in pursuing research related to one of the Academy’s four core program areas: Humanities and Culture, Social Policy and American Institutions, Science and Global Security, and Education. Established in 1780 and located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Academy is one of the oldest learned societies in the United States and an independent policy research center, conducting multidisciplinary studies of scholarly and public policy issues.
The Academy’s Visiting Scholars Program offers junior scholars an opportunity to combine their independent research with active involvement in varied projects, conferences, and meetings. The benefits of the program include private office space at the Academy’s headquarters and access to the Harvard University libraries. Preference is given to junior faculty. A stipend of up to $60,000 for junior faculty and up to $40,000 for postdoctoral scholars accompanies the award.
Guidelines and application materials for the 2008-2009 fellowship year are available at the Academy's Website.
