HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL BUSINESS HISTORY FELLOWSHIPS.
The Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellowship in Business History. This postdoctoral fellowship, open to early career scholars, is to be awarded for twelve months’ residence, study, and research at Harvard Business School. The fellowship has two purposes. The first is to enable scholars who have already demonstrated an engagement with business history broadly defined to deepen their knowledge of teaching pedagogy and research methods in the discipline. The fellow will have the opportunity to contribute to teaching and course development in MBA and doctoral courses in business history. They will also take part in a weekly research seminar in the fall of each year in which leading scholars from around the world present their work. The second purpose is to enable an early career scholar to develop their work in the discipline. The fellow is strongly encouraged to submit an article to Business History Review during his or her fellowship year. She or he might also organize a research conference on a subject related to their research. A research budget will be provided for the fellow. Application and related materials are due by October 30, 2021. For more information and submission instructions, please visit the Business History Fellowships page: http://www.hbs.edu/businesshistory/fellowships/Pages/default.aspx.
