Brady-Johnson Predoctoral Fellowship at Yale International Security Studies

Yale International Security Studies awards 1-2 predoctoral fellowships funded for one year. Brady-Johnson Predoctoral Fellows must be enrolled in a PhD program, have completed all coursework, and be actively working on their PhD dissertation. We seek candidates in the fields of international history, security and strategic studies.

Brady-Johnson Predoctoral Fellows will work with an active academic community of postdoctoral associate fellows and predoctoral fellows, as well as Yale faculty in history, political science, and other disciplines. A member of the Yale faculty will serve as a mentor during the fellowship and will meet on a regular basis with the fellow.

Predoctoral fellows are granted opportunities to present their research and are expected to regularly attend colloquia. Fellows are also expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Program in Grand Strategy, International Security Studies, and the Jackson School for Global Affairs by participating in its activities and development.

All fellows must be in residence in New Haven or its environs during their fellowship year. Eligible candidates must be in the dissertation stage of their PhD, and winners will be expected to use the award to make substantial progress in writing their dissertation. Applications from non-U.S. citizens are welcome, but successful applicants bear final responsibility for all immigration-related issues.

Brady-Johnson Predoctoral Fellows are provided a stipend of $36,000, a $3,000 research budget, and shared office space. Fellows will not be eligible for Yale financial aid or degrees, nor will they be allowed to enroll in or teach classes.
