About the Harvard University Academy Scholars Program
The Harvard University Academy Scholars Program supports exceptional early-career individuals whose work exhibits disciplinary excellence in the social sciences or law.
The program caters to scholars with a command of the language and history or culture of countries or regions outside of the United States or Canada.
Scholars chosen for the program are outstanding and qualified candidates who receive a two-year, in-residence, postdoctoral fellowship appointment at The Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
Annually, 4-6 Academy Scholars are awarded the two-year appointments.
Selected Scholars in the Harvard University Academy Scholars Program are expected to reside in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for pre-approved research purposes or the Harvard University’s coronavirus pandemic response dictates a swap to an online campus.
