Henry A. Kissinger Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Henry A. Kissinger Visiting Scholars Program funds similar postdoctoral fellowships at ISS. We seek scholars whose work focuses 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. Applicants should require access to the Henry A. Kissinger Papers or other archival holdings related to American diplomacy at Yale. Apply now.

Fellows will work with an active academic community of postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows, as well as Yale faculty in history, political science, and other disciplines. Postdoctoral fellows may teach small seminars, if desired. They participate regularly in research colloquia on campus and are granted opportunities to present their work. Postdocs are expected to remain in residence through the duration of their fellowship and contribute to the intellectual life of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, International Security Studies, and the Jackson School of Global Affairs by participating in their activities and development. Shared office space is provided on Yale’s campus. The salary is $65,000, plus $5,000 for research expenses.

Applications for 2024-25 are now open! Deadline for submissions is Monday, December 18, 2024, at 11:59pm EST.
