Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars - Fellowships
Created by the Congress of the United States as the nation's official memorial to its twenty-eighth president, the Woodrow Wilson Center seeks to commemorate through its residential fellowship program both the scholarly depth and the public concerns of Woodrow Wilson.
The Center awards approximately 20 fellowships annually in an international competition to individuals with outstanding project proposals in a broad range of the social sciences and humanities on national and/or international issues - topics that intersect with questions of public policy. Projects should have relevance to the world of public policy, and Fellows should be prepared to interact with policymakers in Washington and with the Wilson Center staff working on similar issues.
Facilities
Each Fellow is assigned a furnished office available every day around the clock. The Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., and includes conference rooms, a reference library, and a Fellows' lunchroom. The building is a smoke-free environment. Professional librarians provide access to the Library of Congress, university and special libraries in the area, and other research facilities. IBM-compatible personal computers or manuscript-typing services are available, and each Fellow is offered a part-time research assistant.
Eligibility
Applications from any country are welcome. Men and women with outstanding capabilities and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds (including government, the corporate world, and the professions, as well as academia) are eligible for appointment. For academic participants, eligibility is limited to the postdoctoral level, and normally it is expected that academic candidates will have demonstrated their scholarly development by publication beyond the Ph.D. dissertation. For other applicants, an equivalent level of professional achievement is expected.
