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.
At the time of application (October 15, 2026), you must hold the Ph.D. or equivalent scholarly credentials in a social science or related field. (See FAQ for details.)
Fellowship is residential and for the full academic year (September–May).
