Chateaubriand Fellowship - HSS

The Chateaubriand Fellowship program for Humanities and Social Sciences allows young PhD scholars to broaden their experience and networks by spending several months at a French higher-education institution. The fellows will be able to engage in dissertation research and interact with a French mentor and scholars. The program offers two types of fellowships: Fall Fellowship (4 months) and Spring Fellowship (4 months). Fellows receive a monthly allowance, round-trip airfare between the U.S. and France, and health insurance for the duration of the fellowship. Applicants must be currently working on their PhD and registered in an American university. All HSS research topics are eligible including law, political science, and economics. The program requires co-supervision from both U.S. and French advisors who agree to supervise part of the dissertation. One fellowship is awarded in partnership with Université Clermont Auvergne for specific research themes including democracy, gender, the Anthropocene, or socio-economic vulnerability.
