The Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy welcomes applications for the Henry A. Kissinger Visiting Scholars Postdoctoral Fellowship. We seek to attract outstanding junior scholars from around the globe whose research is focused on the role of the United States in global affairs from World War II to the present, including the conduct of U.S. statecraft, diplomacy, and grand strategy. Kissinger Visiting Scholars fellowships will be awarded to candidates with outstanding proposals that require access to the Henry A. Kissinger Papers or other archival holdings related to American diplomacy at Yale (http://web.library.yale.edu/digital-collections/kissinger-collection; http://guides.library.yale.edu/american-diplomacy-primary-sources).
Fellowships are awarded for one year and are renewable for one additional year. The PhD degree must be completed to begin the fellowship. Recipients are expected to use their time at Yale to conduct original research and prepare manuscripts for publication. Kissinger Visiting Scholars will work with an active academic community of predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scholars and practitioners, and Yale faculty in history, political science, and other disciplines.
Fellows are required to remain in residence throughout the duration of the fellowship and will be provided shared office space. Postdocs are expected to participate in the academic life and public activities of the Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy, Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, and the Jackson School of Global Affairs. This includes regularly attending the weekly colloquium and sharing their research in this forum. If desired, Kissinger postdocs may teach small seminars on subjects relevant to U.S. statecraft, diplomatic history, or grand strategy.
The Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy was founded upon the 2011 donation of Dr. Henry Kissinger’s papers to Yale related to his pre-government, government, and post-government careers (http://news.yale.edu/2011/06/14/yale-receive-kissinger-papers-and-establish-johnson-center-study-american-diplomacy). A program of the Jackson School of Global Affairs, in conjunction with the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, the Center brings academics and practitioners to Yale as Kissinger Visiting Scholars and Kissinger Senior Fellows, as well as hosts an annual conference a range of other activities relating to international affairs.
