The Watson Postdoctoral Fellows Program supports young social scientists conducting research related to the Institute’s three core thematic areas: development, governance, and security. Participants in this program will join an interdisciplinary community of scholars engaged in theoretically and substantively important research addressing the most pressing global issues of our time. The fellowship competition is open to candidates from the social sciences, including anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology. Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $75,000, for this benefits-eligible position. Additional funding will be made available for research expenses and research-related programming on campus.
