The Davis Center Fellows Program at Harvard University is now
accepting applications for 2012-2013.

The Fellows Program brings together scholars at early and later stages
in their careers to consider a common theme spanning the social
sciences and humanities.  The program is coordinated by faculty from
across Harvard University whose research interests include aspects of
the selected theme.
In 2012-2013, the Fellows Program will be coordinated by Professors
Tim Colton (Government) and Serhii Plokhii (History).

The theme for 2012-2013 is "Imperial Legacies and International
Politics in the Post-Soviet Space." Areas to be explored under this
theme include history, identity issues, security, political economy,
and regime building in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the
region. Other topics of interest include social and cultural factors
such as migration, public health, religion, organized crime,
environmental degradation, popular culture, and the mass media.


In addition to pursuing their own research, Fellows will participate
in a bi-weekly interdisciplinary seminar series that will explore the
theme.
Papers will be presented by the visiting Fellows, Harvard faculty, and
invited outside speakers. For more detailed information on the Fellows
Program, and opportunities to apply for regional, postdoctoral, and
senior fellowships, please visit the Davis Center web site,
http://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu.

Note that scholars whose work does not address the annual theme may
still apply for fellowships at the Davis Center; their applications
will receive full consideration.

Types of Awards

The Center offers three types of fellowships: Postdoctoral, Senior,
and Regional. The maximum stipend amounts for these awards are
detailed below. Scholars with outside or sabbatical funding who wish
to be in residence at the Davis Center in 2012–2013 should apply using
the fellowships application and indicate that they do not require
Davis Center funding. If selected, they will join the Center as
Postdoctoral, Senior, or Regional Fellows.

Postdoctoral Fellowships

   For junior scholars who will have completed the Ph.D. or equivalent
by September 2012, but no earlier than September 2007 (less than five
years).
   Stipend of up to $38,000.
   Citizens of all countries may apply.

Senior Fellowships

   For senior scholars who have already made a significant
contribution to the field.
   Applicants will have completed the Ph.D. or equivalent prior to
September 2007 and hold a full-time academic appointment.
   Stipend of up to $26,000 to bring salary to full-time level. In
certain situations, if the stipend and the applicant's sabbatical pay
are insufficient to cover necessary costs, the Davis Center may be
able to provide additional funds.
   Citizens of all countries may apply.

Regional Fellowships

   For advanced scholars, policymakers, journalists, and other specialists.
   Stipend of up to $46,000.
   Citizens of Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus may apply.

Scholars may apply to be in residence for one full academic year or a
