Visiting Fellows Program

UC San Diego's Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies (USMEX) at the School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS) hosts the largest residential fellowship program in the U.S. for research on Mexico and U.S.-Mexico relations. Each year, the program brings together top scholars from the social sciences, humanities, and related fields to form a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers. The fellowship is designed for Ph.D. candidates who are ABD (All But Dissertation) and have completed a substantial portion of their dissertations, as well as professors on sabbatical. Fellows receive a cost-of-living allowance not exceeding 22,500 USD, depending on the approved length of stay and the residential period, which may range from two to nine months. Priority is given to proposals that are scientifically and/or policy-relevant, present a feasible plan of action, and contribute toward a better understanding of Mexico and/or U.S.-Mexico relations. Applications from Mexican scholars are strongly encouraged.
