Woodrow Wilson Center Fellowship in USA 2022

Wilson Center in the USA is inviting scholars, practitioners, journalists and public intellectuals to participate in Woodrow Wilson Center Fellowship for the 2022/23 academic session.

The Wilson Center welcomes scholars, practitioners, journalists and public intellectuals to partake in its top international Woodrow Wilson Center Fellowship Program and to take advantage of the opening to take part actively in the Center’s national mission. The Center awards approximately 15-20 residential fellowships each year. Fellows will be associated with one or more of the Wilson Center programs/projects and are aided to relate with policymakers in Washington, D.C., with Wilson Center personnel, and other fellows who are working on similar research and subjects.

Fellows carry out research and write in their fields of interest while relating with policymakers in Washington and Wilson Center staff and other fellows in residence.  The Center takes policy-focused, non-advocacy fellowship proposals that tackle key issues facing the United States and the world.
