Who is eligible to apply?

There are three types of applicants:

1. Faculty (Scholars) from other universities who wish to spend sabbatical leave at the Weatherhead Center pursuing research. Visiting faculty must have a PhD and must hold tenured or tenure-track positions at another institution, from which they will be on leave during the time that they are at Harvard.
2. Postdoctoral researchers who have received their PhDs in the last three calendar years, or who will have defended by the start of their academic appointment.
3. Practitioners (Fellows) with a strong scholarly bent who wish to spend a year conducting a research project connected to a core interest of the Weatherhead Center.  Practitioners do not need a PhD to be eligible.
