Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Weatherhead Scholars Program offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, interdisciplinary cohort at Harvard University, bringing together leading academics and accomplished practitioners from around the world. Each year, approximately thirty affiliates are selected through a highly competitive process. Participants may be visiting faculty from other institutions of higher education, postdoctoral fellows who earned their PhD within three years of applying, or practitioner fellows such as mid-career or senior diplomats, journalists, NGO leaders, military officers, civil servants, and other professionals.

Housed within the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs—Harvard’s largest international social science research center—the program supports independent research on international, transnational, and comparative topics while fostering meaningful dialogue across disciplines and sectors. Most affiliates spend the full academic year in residence, though one-semester appointments are possible.

Please review the Weatherhead Scholars Program website and FAQ page thoroughly for detailed information. The position requirements differ by category, and full job descriptions are available on ARIeS, Harvard’s online portal for hiring. All application materials must be submitted through Harvard University’s academic portal by the stated deadlines to ensure full consideration.

Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars: October 15, 2025
Practitioner Fellows: February 15, 2026
