USA : Ernest May Fellowship

The Belfer Center has announced a new initiative to help build a new generation of people who can bring professional history to bear on strategic studies and major issues of international affairs. We will select two Fellows next year in history and policy who will be called Ernest May Fellows. Niall Ferguson, Laurence Tisch Professor of History and Belfer Center Board member, will serve as their point of contact and mentor at the University.

The fellows selected will be housed at the Belfer Center and participate in the activities of the Center as part of the International Security Fellows group.

The fellowships will include ten-month stipends of $34,000 to post-doctoral and advanced research fellows and $20,000 to pre-doctoral fellows, with health insurance. Fellows will receive an office and have full access to all Harvard research resources.

Fellows are expected to devote some portion of their time to collaborative endeavors, as arranged by the project director. Fellows are also expected to complete a book, monograph, or other significant publication during their period of residence.

Fellowship applications for the 2010-11 academic year are due on February 15, 2010. Decisions are expected to be made by March 15.
