The Radcliffe Fellowship is an opportunity to step away from usual routines and dive deeply into a project. Based in Radcliffe Yard—a sanctuary in the heart of Harvard University—fellows join a uniquely interdisciplinary and creative community. With access to Harvard’s unparalleled resources, Radcliffe fellows develop new tools and methods, challenge artistic and scholarly conventions, and illuminate our past and our present.
This fellowship is open to full and part-time faculty who have received a doctorate or terminal degree at least 2 years prior to the start of the fellowship, and who have published a monograph or at least two articles in refereed journals or edited collections.
Applications in humanities, social sciences, and creative arts (which includes film/video, visual arts, creative writing and journalism) are due by September 8, 2022, and applications in science, engineering, and mathematics are due by September 29, 2022
Radcliffe welcomes proposals relevant to the Institute’s focus areas, which include:
- Law, education, and justice

- Women, gender, and society
