Apply Online Now for ISPS Policy Fellowship

The Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale (ISPS) is pleased to announce the continuation in 2014-2015 of its Policy Fellows Program for graduate and professional students from across the University conducting research on U.S. domestic policy. The program will provide students with a $3,000 stipend, exclusive access to a grant fund to support their ongoing research, and official affiliation with ISPS. For the upcoming fellowship year, which will run between April 2014 and April 2015, postdoctoral students at Yale are eligible to apply.

ISPS Policy Fellows will have the opportunity to attend biweekly breakfast workshops, some featuring prominent Yale faculty and guests working on policy-relevant issues and others providing training in skills such as op-ed and policy memo writing, media appearances, and blogging. Later in the year, these meetings will become opportunities for fellows to present their research and receive feedback from ISPS-affiliated faculty and other graduate fellows. In addition, fellows will contribute regularly to the ISPS blog, have the opportunity to work on policy-relevant projects they develop in conjunction with ISPS faculty, and will be afforded a chance to share their work at an ISPS-sponsored event in the spring. Fellows may plan and execute events such as panels, invited speaker talks, and roundtable discussions with the support of ISPS.

To apply, please visit our webpage and follow the link to the application. You will be required to submit your CV, a one-page description of the research you would be conducting as an ISPS fellow, and the name and contact information of a faculty reference no later than 9am on Monday, March 10, 2014. Accepted fellows will be notified in late March. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact isps@yale.edu.
