Henry Chauncey Jr. '57 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Grand Strategy at Yale University
The Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale University, which operates under the auspices of International Security Studies at Yale (ISS), will award one or more Henry Chauncey Jr. '57 Postdoctoral Fellowships beginning in the fall semester of 2010. These fellowships will have a term of one academic year. By mutual agreement of the Fellow and the Program, the Fellowship may be renewable for a second year.

These fellowships will provide opportunities for research and teaching in the field of ?grand strategy? broadly defined. Fellows must be in residence at Yale, and must have successfully defended their doctoral dissertation by September 1, 2010. The Program welcomes applications from both mid-career and junior scholars. Scholars who have previously held an ISS fellowship are eligible to apply.

Fellows will be expected to conduct their own research and to teach at least one course on a subject relevant to grand strategy during each year in which they hold the fellowship. The stipend will be at least $50,000. The fellowship will provide shared office space and access to Yale facilities as well as membership in the Yale Health Plan.
