FELLOWSHIPS - Middle East-Related Research at Harvard Kennedy School, 
2010-11

Posted by: Ashraf Hegazy <ashraf_hegazy at harvard.edu>




Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The Dubai Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School is currently accepting
Fellowship applications, for research related to the Middle East, for
the 2010-2011 academic year. The deadline for applying is January 15, 2010.

The Dubai Initiative offers pre- and post-doctoral research
fellowships as well as senior fellowships for one year, with a
possibility for renewal. Both stipendiary and non-stipendiary
appointments area available. Please note that stipendiary appointments
are significantly more competitive, and financing is contingent upon
non-guaranteed funding from our sponsor! To improve your chances of
acceptance, please indicate whether you are willing to accept a
non-stipendiary or partially funded appointment.

Applications for fellowships are welcome from recent recipients of the
Ph.D. or equivalent degree, university faculty members, and employees
of government, international, humanitarian, and private research
institutions with appropriate professional experience. Applicants for
pre- doctoral fellowships must have passed general examinations prior
to appointment.  We welcome applications from political scientists,
policy practitioners, lawyers, economists, and those in the natural
sciences who are conducting research about the Middle East on issues
of governance, public policy, administration and management, gender
studies, economic policy, and political science. We encourage
applications from women, minorities, and citizens of all countries.

The Dubai Initiative focuses on research related to the Middle East to
complement the interests of the Belfer Center, Harvard Kennedy School,
and Dubai School of Government (DSG), and offers fellowships at the
Belfer Center as well as opportunities for joint fellowships with DSG,
which may require the fellow to spend a certain amount of time in
Dubai. We also offer a joint fellowship with HKS's Women in Public
Policy Program (WAPPP). Details on that fellowship can be found on
WAPPP's website.

Fellows are generally expected to:
  * Complete a 25-30 page Working Paper to be published by the Dubai 
Initiative
  * Complete a 3-8 page Policy Brief to be published by the Dubai Initiative
  * Complete an 8-10 page Policy Brief to be published by the Dubai
School of Government
  * Present theeir research at a Brown Bag lunch
  * Attend other DI fellows' Brown Bag lunches
  * Contribute regularly to the Dubai Initiative's blog

Additionally, Dubai Initiative Fellows are expected to devote a
portion of their time on collaborative research, as arranged by the
Initiative with DSG. Research Fellows looking to write a book or in
the process of completing a book can receive funding to complete it
based on the area of research focus.   Pre-doctoral research fellows
are encouraged to work on - and ideally complete - their doctoral
dissertations.

All information related to stipend, application procedures, and
deadlines are described in detail on the Belfer Center Fellowships
page. Fellowship applicants must indicate that they are applying to
the Dubai Initiative.

Specific inquiries may be directed to
dubai_initiative at hks.harvard.edu. Please note that all applications
must be submitted in accordance with the procedures on the Belfer
Center Fellowships page.

Thank you,
