FELLOWSHIPS
Membership in the School of Social Science
Each year, approximately 20 scholars are invited to the Institute for residential fellowships. The School welcomes applications from junior and senior scholars across a wide range of fields in the social sciences and related disciplines.
Members (as Institute fellows are known) have access to campus resources and facilities, including offices, libraries, subsidized dining services, and housing.
About half of those invited are working in the year's designated theme, half on other projects.
Applicants must hold the Ph.D. or equivalent scholarly credentials at the time of application. The degree must be awarded no later than October 15 of the year prior to that of the fellowship for which you are applying.
Fellowship is residential and for the full academic year (September–May).
The deadline for the 2027-2028 fellowship program has passed. Please visit our application portal to access the application once it opens in August 2027.
