<br>*Call for Applications: Non-Stipendiary Fellowships*
<br>
<br>*Program on Science, Technology and Society, Harvard Kennedy School*
<br>
<br>The Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard Kennedy School, a
<br>leading center for STS research and training, welcomes applications to its
<br>non-stipendiary pre- and postdoctoral fellowship program for AY 2019-2020.
<br>Predoctoral fellowships are most appropriate for Ph.D. students in STS or
<br>closely related fields who have completed their qualifying exams and
<br>embarked on dissertation research and writing. Postdoctoral fellowships are
<br>most appropriate for recent Ph.D.’s pursuing research that would benefit
<br>from systematic exposure to STS theories and methods.
<br>
<br>The Program offers a unique collegial environment in which fellows receive
<br>intensive training in STS and become an integral part of the
<br>Cambridge-based STS community. Fellows meet weekly as a group to discuss
<br>each other’s research; they also attend weekly STS Circle seminars, audit
<br>relevant Harvard graduate courses, and participate in the Program’s major
<br>events. Each year’s cohort includes students from varied backgrounds,
<br>cultures, and countries. We have hosted students from the US, Canada,
<br>Brazil, South Korea, and several European countries (e.g., Britain, France,
<br>Germany, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands).
<br>
<br>Non-stipendiary fellows are expected to participate in the Program for one
<br>academic year (September-May), but shorter stays of at least one semester
<br>(about three months) may be possible with appropriate justification under
<br>exceptional circumstances. Fellows may stay for a maximum of two years with
<br>appropriate external support.
<br>
<br>Applicants will be evaluated for their fit with the Program’s intellectual
<br>strengths and substantive research foci. Accordingly, both the research
<br>statement and the supporting letter(s) should clearly address the question
<br>of fit.
<br>
<br>Applicants for non-stipendiary fellowships should apply using the online
<br>application form
<br>
<br>by *January 31, 2019*. Applicants should submit the following:
<br>
<br> - A description of research interests and reasons for seeking
<br> affiliation with the Harvard STS Program (750 words);
<br> - A brief curriculum vitae (2 pages);
<br> - A supporting letter from an academic adviser evaluating the
<br> applicant’s academic performance, standing, and qualifications for the
<br> Harvard program (to be sent by the faculty member directly to Shana Ashar
<br> at shana_ashar@hks.harvard.edu).
<br> - Desirable: A second letter from a faculty member trained in STS who
<br> can speak to the applicant’s background in STS.
<br>
