Henry Chauncey Jr. '57 Postdoctoral Fellowship

Yale University, Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy

Description

The Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy welcomes applications from junior scholars around the globe for two Henry Chauncey, Jr. ’57 Postdoctoral Fellowships. We seek to attract candidates working on the history of global affairs, international relations, statecraft, transatlantic relations, and/or US foreign policy. Candidates from the fields of security and strategic studies are also welcome, provided their work has an empirical, historical, and/or qualitative focus. We are particularly interested in candidates using the methods of international, military, and/or political history to investigate past events with current relevance.

During their time at Yale, the Chauncey Fellows will work within an active academic community of fellows, practitioners, visiting scholars, and Yale Jackson School faculty. Fellowships last one year and are potentially renewable for one additional year. Fellows must have received their PhD degrees, ideally in History or a related field, before the start of their fellowship. They will use their time at Yale to conduct original research and/or prepare manuscripts for publication.

Chauncey Fellows must remain in residence throughout the fellowship.  They will receive shared office space and participate in the academic life and public activities of the Program, as well as those of the Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy and the Jackson School of Global Affairs. This includes attending events and, if requested, presenting research at such an event. The Chauncey Fellows may also, if they desire, teach on subjects related to the Program’s focus.

Salary: $68,000 plus $5,000 for research expenses.
