Website: www.wcfia.harvard.edu/academyHarvard Divinity School Center for the Study of World Religions: Senior Fellows ProgramFounded in 1958, the Harvard University Center for the Study of World Religions fosters research in the study of religions of the world. Two characteristics mark the Center. The first is the international scope of its subject matter and constituency. The second is its encouragement of multiple disciplinary approaches toward religious expressions, whether in art, medicine, law, literature, music, economic activity, or cosmological sciences. The overarching goal is to understand the meaning of religion, with sympathetic insight into religious communities, and to analyze with scholarly integrity the role of religion in global perspective. The Senior Fellows Program at the Center brings to the University for one term or for one academic year scholars who already hold a doctorate and who are usually on leave from a teaching position at another university. This program does not normally presuppose specific coursework or provide formal teaching opportunities. Applicants are expected to propose research on a project in the study of religions of the world. Through the Senior Fellows Program, the Center strives to bring to Harvard scholars from abroad, as well as from the United States, whose active and broad participation in Center activities enriches the academic study of religion. It provides these scholars time for investigation and access to the resources of Harvard University. It also facilitates the exchange of ideas growing out of such research. Fellowship awards are based primarily upon the academic merit of the applicant's proposed research project; but also upon the availability of residential space, and the nature of the research programs planned in any given year. In general, preference is accorded scholars who have not previously received support from the Center and who plan to come during a year's leave from their regular university teaching position. Each year since 2000, up to four Senior Fellowship awards are designated as Fortieth Anniversary Fellowships, which provide stipends of $25,000 to $50,000 for an academic year. Fortieth Anniversary Fellowships also include a research assistant, a research allowance ($1,000), a relocation allowance ($1,500) and the option of residence at the Center. All applicants for Senior Fellowships are automatically considered for Fortieth Anniversary Fellowships. Senior Fellowship awards not designated as Fortieth Anniversary Fellowships will consist of a stipend of $4,000 and the option of residence at the Center. The deadline for submitting fellowship applications for academic year 2003-2004 is 15 December 2002. Those wishing to apply for a Senior Fellowship are asked to forward the following materials to the Center by the application deadline: a completed fellowship application form, Research Proposal (2 to 5 pages), Curriculum Vitae, and Two (2) recommendations (on forms provided by CSWR). Both online and downloadable fellowship application forms are available via this website. Recommendation forms can also be downloaded from this website. Alternatively, applicants may request printed application and recommendation forms from the CSWR by contacting Keith Brown, Coordinator of Fellowship Programs, at 617.496.5834 (phone) or keith_brown@harvard.edu (e-mail).

Eligibility: The competition for these awards is open only to doctoral candidates (Ph.D. or comparable professional school degree) or recent recipients of these degrees who may already hold teaching or research positions. Candidates for advanced degrees must have completed all course work and general examinations by the time of application. Historically, competitive candidates have already made at least significant progress on their dissertations. Applicants are welcome from any accredited university without regard to nationality. Abstract: The purpose of the Academy Scholars Program is to identify very bright scholars who are at the start of their careers and whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences with an in-depth grounding in particular countries or regions. The Academy Scholars are a select group of individuals who show promise of becoming leading scholars at major universities. They are appointed and supported by the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies to provide opportunities for advanced work at Harvard University. Those selected as Academy Scholars are given time, guidance, access to Harvard facilities, and substantial financial assistance as they work for two years conducting either dissertation or postdoctoral research in their chosen fields and areas. The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve their intellectual potential. Scholars are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for approved research purposes.
