The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies is Harvard University’s
center for interdisciplinary research and study of Russia and the countries
surrounding it. We have over 200 affiliates working in disciplines ranging
from anthropology to sociology, and whose regional interests span virtually
all of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
We believe that fascinating interdisciplinary insights emerge when a diverse
group of individual scholars, each of whom is well trained in a single
discipline, interact on topics related to a common theme or geographic
region. Our goal is to foster these scholars’ development and to stimulate
interdisciplinary thinking by creating opportunities for them to meet and
exchange views.
The Davis Center is an institutional member of the American Association for
the Advancement of Slavic Studies and is that organization's host at Harvard
University.
Fellowships
We offer three categories of fellowships and make a combined total of
approximately six awards each year. Fellows combine disciplinary excellence
in the humanities or social sciences, or significant work experience, with
an area focus in Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and/or the Caucasus.
Fellows receive a living stipend, office space, computer support, borrowing
privileges in the Harvard libraries, and a health insurance allowance.
Stipends assume a 10-month stay from September through June and are
pro-rated for shorter stays. We expect fellows to be in residence at the
Davis Center and to give at least one seminar during their tenure here.
We conduct one round of competition per year. Applications must be received
by Thursday, January 15, 2004. Decisions will be announced in March 2004.
• Post-Doctoral Fellowships are open to scholars who have held a Ph.D. or
equivalent for less than five years.
• Senior Fellowships are open to scholars who have held a Ph.D. or
equivalent for five years or more and have already made a significant
contribution to the field.
• Regional Fellowships are open to scholars, journalists, policymakers,
and other specialists who are citizens of Russia, Eastern Europe, Central
Asia, or the Caucasus.
