Call for Applications: Non-Stipendiary Fellowships

Program on Science, Technology and Society, Harvard Kennedy School

The Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard Kennedy School, a
leading center for STS research and training, welcomes applications to its
non-stipendiary pre- and postdoctoral fellowship program for AY 2019-2020.
Predoctoral fellowships are most appropriate for Ph.D. students in STS or
closely related fields who have completed their qualifying exams and
embarked on dissertation research and writing. Postdoctoral fellowships are
most appropriate for recent Ph.D.’s pursuing research that would benefit
from systematic exposure to STS theories and methods.

The Program offers a unique collegial environment in which fellows receive
intensive training in STS and become an integral part of the
Cambridge-based STS community. Fellows meet weekly as a group to discuss
each other’s research; they also attend weekly STS Circle seminars, audit
relevant Harvard graduate courses, and participate in the Program’s major
events. Each year’s cohort includes students from varied backgrounds,
cultures, and countries. We have hosted students from the US, Canada,
Brazil, South Korea, and several European countries (e.g., Britain, France,
Germany, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands).

Non-stipendiary fellows are expected to participate in the Program for one
academic year (September-May), but shorter stays of at least one semester
(about three months) may be possible with appropriate justification under
exceptional circumstances. Fellows may stay for a maximum of two years with
appropriate external support.

Applicants will be evaluated for their fit with the Program’s intellectual
strengths and substantive research foci. Accordingly, both the research
statement and the supporting letter(s) should clearly address the question
of fit.

Applicants for non-stipendiary fellowships should apply using the online
application form

by January 31, 2019. Applicants should submit the following:

- A description of research interests and reasons for seeking
affiliation with the Harvard STS Program (750 words);
- A brief curriculum vitae (2 pages);
- A supporting letter from an academic adviser evaluating the
applicant’s academic performance, standing, and qualifications for the
Harvard program (to be sent by the faculty member directly to Shana Ashar
at shana_ashar@hks.harvard.edu).
- Desirable: A second letter from a faculty member trained in STS who
can speak to the applicant’s background in STS.
