Stanford University- Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences Fellowships
The Center offers a residential fellowship program for scholars working in a diverse range of disciplines that contribute to advancing research and thinking in social science. Fellows represent the core social and behavioral sciences (anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, and sociology) but also the humanities, education, linguistics, communications, and the biological, natural, health, and computer sciences.
For 2021-22, Chinese University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, Presence-CASBS, and Stanford-Taiwan Social Science fellowships will be offered through CASBS.
1 year.
Depending on available funds, the Center provides stipends according to the following principles:
– A Center stipend is based on the fellow’s salary for the year before residence. (Nine-month salary for an academic; 12-month salary for a non-academic.)
– That stipend cannot exceed one-half of the fellow’s base salary for that year and is additionally subject to an upper limit set by the CASBS board of directors.
– The cap is currently set at $77,000, but may increase slightly. The sum of the fellow’s salary from a home institution or affiliation and a Center stipend may not exceed the fellow’s base salary for the fellowship year.
– Because of the high cost of living in the Stanford University area, the Center has established a minimum salary for those who are offered a fellowship. Under certain circumstances and conditional on the guidelines above, fellows earning less than $100,000 per year may receive a stipend that exceeds the standard 50% maximum contribution.
The ideal candidate for a CASBS fellowship is a highly accomplished academic or thinker (relative to career stage).
– Has a PhD, professional degree (e.g., JD, MD), an equivalent foreign degree, or has achieved an equivalent level of professional reputation.
– Is three to four years past the doctorate or equivalent degree (CASBS does not offer post-doctoral fellowships).
– Is an academic faculty member–or an independent researcher–who exhibits a high level of achievement (adjusted for rank), including a strong record of research publications.
– Communicates clearly in English.
CASBS welcomes international scholars, who must be eligible to come to the Center on a J-1 scholar visa.
