Application Deadline: January 15, 2008 The Dubai Initiative, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University offers funding for full-year and half-year, pre- and post-doctoral research fellowships as well as senior fellowships, with a possibility for renewal. Applications for fellowships are welcome from recent recipients of the Ph.D. or equivalent degree, university faculty members, and employees of government, international, humanitarian, and private research institutions with appropriate professional experience. Candidates for pre-doctoral fellowships are required to have passed their general examinations prior to appointment. The Dubai Initiative focuses on research related to the Middle East to complement the interests of the Belfer Center and those of the Dubai School of Government (DSG), and offers fellowships at the Belfer Center as well as opportunities for joint fellowships with the DSG which may require the fellow to spend a certain amount of time in Dubai. We welcome applications from political scientists, policy practitioners, lawyers, economists, and those in the natural sciences who are either conducting research about the Middle East on the issues of governance, public policy, administration and management, gender studies, economic policy and political science. We encourage applications from women, minorities, and citizens of all countries. The Dubai Initiative fellows are expected to devote a portion of their time on collaborative research, as arranged by the Initiative, with the DSG. Fellowships will be awarded based on specific research deliverables (developing research strategy, contributing to a working paper series, and conducting research on a topic of interest to the fellow and the Initiative) negotiated between the Initiative and the Dubai School of Government research offices. Research fellows looking to write a book or in the process of completing a book can receive funding to complete it based on the area of research focus and progress on the work. Pre- and post-doctoral research fellows are expected to contribute to both the Initiative as well as the Center's research activities and pre-doctoral fellows are encouraged to work on - and ideally complete - their doctoral dissertations. We also coordinate DSG fellowship appointments for scholars to be in residence at DSG full time and spend a small portion of their fellowship term at KSG. These are reviewed on a case by case basis by DSG senior researchers. If interested in applying directly to the Dubai School of Government please note your intention in an application directed to the Dubai Initiative and your application will be forwarded to Dubai. Selection of DSG Fellows will be handled by the offices at the Dubai School of Government. Fellowship applicants must indicate that they are applying to The Dubai Initiative. All information related to stipend (we do offer half year and full year fellowships), application procedures and deadlines are described in detail on the Belfer Center Fellowship page: http://www.belfercenter.org/fellowships/ Please contact Shana Rabinowich at dubai_initiative at ksg.harvard.edu with any questions specific to the Dubai Initiative, or for deadline extension consideration.
