Henry Chauncey Jr. '57 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Grand Strategy at Yale University

THE COMPETITION FOR THE 2008-09 CHAUNCEY FELLOWSHIPS IS COMPLETE

ISS will announce the competition for its 2009-10 Chauncey Fellowships in early 2009. The call for the 2009 competition will closely resemble that for the 2008 competition, which is below:

The Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale University, which operates under the auspices of International Security Studies at Yale (ISS), will award up to two Henry Chauncey Jr. '57 Postdoctoral Fellowships that begin in Fall 2008. These Fellowships will have a term of one academic year. By mutual agreement of the Fellow and the Program, the Fellowship may be renewable for a second year.

These Fellowships will provide opportunities for research and teaching in the field of "grand strategy" broadly defined. Fellows must be in residence at Yale, and must have successfully defended their doctoral dissertation by September 1, 2008. The Program welcomes applications from both mid-career and junior scholars. Scholars who have previously held an ISS postdoctoral fellowship are eligible to apply.

Fellows will be expected to conduct their own research and are required by the terms of the Fellowship to teach one course on a subject relevant to grand strategy during each year in which they hold the Fellowship. The stipend will vary according to the seniority of the Fellow, but will be at least $45,000. The Fellowship will provide shared office space and access to Yale facilities, as well as single or family membership, as appropriate, in the Yale Health Plan if the Fellow's 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 (ca. 50 page) writing sample, and three letters of reference to Ann Carter-Drier, Administrator, International Security Studies, Yale University, P.O. Box 208353, New Haven, CT 06520-8353. The deadline is March 31, 2008. 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. This call for applications is also available on H-Net. If you have questions, please e-mail ISS’s Associate Director Dr. Ted R. Bromund.

International Security Studies hosted one John M. Olin Postdoctoral Fellow in Military History and Strategy in 2006-07. Selected through an international competition, the Fellow, Dr. David Ekbladh, was invited to ISS with no obligation other than to pursue his research. No Olin Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded for the 2007-08 academic year.

This Program began in 1988. It achieved its goal of facilitating research and publications, usually in the early stages of a career, by providing Fellows selected through an international competition with financial support and time for research and writing, as well as the academic advantages of residence at Yale University. The program was fully funded by the John M. Olin Foundation from 1989.
