Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
The Clayman Institute offers a two-year postdoctoral fellowship that focuses on the Institute's current theme, "Beyond the Stalled Revolution: Reinvigorating Gender Equality in the Twenty-first Century." Recent Ph.D.'s in all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on gender are eligible. We encourage scholars with a strong interest in interdisciplinary methods to apply. While in residence at the Institute, Postdoctoral Scholars are expected to participate in Clayman Institute activities throughout the academic year in addition to pursuing their own research. Our application will be available to access October 1, 2017 through January 11, 2018.
