Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Harvard Business School and the Newcomen Society of the United States support a postdoctoral fellowship in business history for twelve months of residence and research at the Harvard Business School. Fellowships normally run for the academic year, July 1 to June 30; the stipend is currently $60,000.

The purpose of the award is to enable scholars who have received a Ph.D. in history, economics, or a related discipline within the past ten years to improve their professional acquaintance with business and economic history, to increase their skills as they relate to this field, and to engage in research that will benefit from the resources of the Harvard Business School and the Boston-area scholarly community. The successful applicant will participate in the school's business history courses, seminars, and case development activities.

The annual application deadline is October 1 of the year preceding the fellowship. For additional information, write to Walter A. Friedman, Rock Center 104, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163. Email wfriedman@hbs.edu.
