International Security Studies at Yale (ISS) will award up to two Smith Richardson Foundation Predoctoral Fellowships in Security Studies beginning in the Fall semester of 2010, contingent upon available funding for this program. These fellowships will have a term of one academic year.
These Fellowships will provide an opportunity for advanced doctoral candidates from universities other than Yale in the field of security studies, with particular emphasis on international, diplomatic, and military history, to benefit from a year at Yale and involvement with the ISS community. Fellows must be in residence in New Haven or its environs. They must have largely completed the archival research for their doctoral dissertation: Fellows will be expected to use this Fellowship to make substantial progress in writing their dissertation. Applications from non-U.S. citizens are welcome, but successful applicants bear final responsibility for all immigration- related issues.
Fellows will have full access to Yale's library and other academic resources, but they will not be eligible for Yale financial aid or degrees, nor will they be allowed to take or teach classes. The stipend will be $23,000 per year, with an additional $3,000 in research expenses. The Fellowship will provide shared office space and single membership in the Yale Health Plan if the Fellows home institution does not provide transportable health coverage.
Please submit a vita, a research proposal (describing how the Fellowship will be used), transcripts, a short (no more than 50 page) writing sample, and two letters of reference (one should be from the applicants dissertation advisor) to Susan Hennigan, Administrator, International Security Studies, Yale University, PO Box 208353, New Haven, CT 06520-8353. The deadline is March 1, 2010. Finalists may be asked to visit Yale for an on-campus interview, or to participate in a telephone interview. Yale University is an AA/EOE. Female, minority, and handicapped candidates, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
