Middle East Initiative

The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University’s John F Kennedy School of Government invites applications for its Middle East initiative fellowship. This enables researchers to spend a year conducting research related to Middle Eastern governance and public policy. Priority is given to research on improving governance, building peace, revitalizing the state, broadening financial and labor markets, governing technology or adapting to environmental challenges. During their time at Harvard, fellows are expected to produce a working paper, present their research at seminars, attend seminars of other research fellows and generally participate in relevant activities.
