Opportunity
The Watson Institute is happy to announce that we will now be offering 2 fellowships which provide a full year of support (stipend, health fees, and tuition) to enrolled 5th or 6th year PhD students in Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, or Sociology working in the core areas of Development, Governance, or Security. Students will be on fellowship for one year at the end of which they are expected to successfully complete their dissertation.

The fellowships are supported by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.
