Belfer Center Fellowships

Dear Min,The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School is pleased to offer various predoctoral, postdoctoral, and professional fellowship opportunities in the fields of science and international affairs. This year, our fellowship application timeline has moved to an earlier date. The fellowship application for the 2022-2023 academic year will open Friday, October 1, 2021, and close Wednesday, December 1, 2021. We hope that you will share this information with your networks and mentees who may be planning to apply for fellowship programs this fall.

The Belfer Center has a dual mission: (1) to provide leadership in advancing policy-relevant knowledge about the most important challenges of international security and other critical issues where science, technology, environmental policy, and international affairs intersect; and (2) to prepare future generations of leaders for these arenas. Many of our former fellows have gone on to become faculty members at top academic institutions, pursued careers in government, or served in senior leadership roles in other fields.
