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 are 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@hks.harvard.edu. Please note that all applications must be submitted in accordance with the procedures on the Belfer Center Fellowships page.
Thank you,
