Comments: Each year, the Radcliffe Institute welcomes a group of fellows from around the world--women and men, scientists, artists, historians, sociologists, economists, and literary scholars--who form a multidisciplinary community. Animated by important questions in fields ranging from genomics, to human rights, to poetics, to mathematics, the Institute is a place of intense intellectual engagement and great energy. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue their scholarly or artistic projects within a community that challenges them to think and to communicate in transformative ways.
Within its broad mandate to include all academic fields and the creative arts in its research and programs, the Institute sustains a special commitment to the study of women, gender, and society.
Scholars in any field with a doctorate or appropriate terminal degree at least two years prior to appointment (by December 2011) in the area of the proposed project are eligible to apply. Only scholars who have published at least two articles in refereed journals or edited collections are eligible to apply.
Applicants whose projects draw on the resources of the Institute's Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America (the country's foremost archive in women's history) are looked on favorably, but such a focus is not a requisite for applying. In addition, because of collaboration with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, topics related to research in this area are of particular interest.
