Harvard Inequality in America Initiative Postdoctoral Fellow

The Inequality in America Initiative seeks applications from recent doctoral degree recipients interested in joining a multidisciplinary network of Harvard researchers working to address the manifold challenges of inequality. This program is intended to seed new research directions, facilitate collaboration across disciplines, and develop new leaders in the study of inequality who can publish at the highest level, reach the widest audience, and impact policy.

We expect to appoint four fellows in 2023, with two positions dedicated to scholarship focused specifically on racial and ethnic inequality.

Over fifty Harvard faculty are affiliated with the initiative, participating in one or more of five major research clusters:

America Inequality, Globally; Governance, Citizenship, and Social Justice; Mobility and Migration; Science, Technology, Education, and Health; Work, Family, and Opportunity

The fellowship is a two-year postdoctoral training program. The award includes $73,500/year plus fringe; office space; a $17,500 research account; up to $3K (incl. taxes) for relocation; and up to $3K toward a manuscript workshop. 

Applicants to the fall 2023 program must have received a doctorate or equivalent terminal degree in April 2020 or later; applicants without a terminal degree must demonstrate that they will receive one by August 2023.
