The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University aspires to promote a just and peaceful world through research, teaching, and public engagement. Central to this mission is the Watson Postdoctoral Fellows Program, which supports young social scientists conducting research related to the Institute’s three core thematic areas: development, governance, and security. Participants in this program will join an interdisciplinary community of scholars engaged in theoretically and substantively important research addressing the most pressing global issues of our time.
The deadline to apply for the Watson Institute Postdoctoral Fellows Program 2023-2025 has now passed. The application for 2024-2025 will open in September 2024. Full application details will be listed on Interfolio when the application opens.
