Pre- and Post-doctoral Fellowships

The purpose of the Academy Scholars Program is to identify and support
outstanding scholars who are at the start of their careers and whose work
combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history
and law) with an in-depth grounding in particular non-Western countries or
regions, including domestic, comparative, or transnational issues.

The Academy Scholars are a select group of individuals who show promise of
becoming leading scholars at major universities. They are appointed and
supported by the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies to
provide opportunities for advanced work at Harvard University.

Those selected as Academy Scholars are given time, guidance, access to
Harvard facilities, and substantial financial assistance as they work for
two years conducting either post-doctoral or final-stage dissertation
research in their chosen fields and areas. Some teaching is permitted but
not required. The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard
faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve
their intellectual potential.

Applications for the 2006-2007 class of Academy Scholars are due by October
14, 2005. There is no application form. The following materials are required
for a complete application:

     * a current curriculum vitae, including a list of publications (include
3 copies)
     * a statement of the applicant's proposed research, including
intellectual objectives and planned methodological and disciplinary work -
no more than 10 pages double-spaced (include 3 copies)
     * an official copy of each graduate transcript
     * three letters of recommendation in sealed, signed envelopes placed
inside the application packet
     * a cover letter which succinctly states the applicant's academic field,
country of origin or region of specialization, and proposed or actual
research topic (include 3 copies)

Please do not staple materials.

Faxed or e-mailed applications will not be accepted.

Finalists will be invited to Cambridge for interviews with the Senior
Scholars on 15 December 2005.
