Stanford CDDRL Pre-doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships

Currently accepting applications.

Applications must be received by January 17, 2014.

The Center welcomes applications from pre-doctoral students at the
write-up stage and from post-doctoral scholars working in any of the
four program areas of democracy, development, evaluating the efficacy
of democracy promotion, and rule of law. Applicants working at the
intersection of two or more of these issue areas will receive
preferential consideration. The Center expects to award two or more
fellowships for the 2014-2015 academic year.

Pre-doctoral fellows receive stipends comparable to that awarded by
the Stanford Graduate Fellowships program; the Center also pays
non-matriculated student tuition for pre-doctoral fellows as required
by Stanford University. Post-doctoral fellows receive salaries
commensurate with experience and with consideration given to
university established minimums for a term period of 9 months.
Healthcare and other benefits are also provided as required by
Stanford University for both pre- and post doctoral fellows.

Fellows spend the academic year at Stanford University completing
their projects, participating in seminars, and interacting with each
other and the resident faculty and research staff. The Center
facilities on the Stanford campus include offices and cubicles.
Fellows have access to other Stanford libraries as well as exercise
facilities.
