Eligibility
For the current application period, the Society invites applications from early-career scholars who have completed (or will complete) their doctoral degree requirements between January 1, 2020 and September 1, 2023. Candidates will be asked to provide proof of completion of their doctoral degree requirements prior to the start of the program.
This program is open to all fields of inquiry represented in CAS (broadly encompassing the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematical & computational sciences), but preference will be given to scholars whose research spans across traditional disciplinary divisions or modes of inquiry. A list of all CAS departments and programs can be found here. If you have questions about whether your field of study is eligible, please contact the Society at SoFCAS@bu.edu.
Preference will be given to those candidates who have not yet held a postdoctoral position and who do not hold a tenure-track assistant professor faculty position. Current BU postdoctoral associates and fellows and candidates who received their Ph.D. from Boston University are not eligible. Applicants who received a bachelors or masters degree from BU are eligible.
Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States by September 1, 2023. The Society of Fellows does not provide visa sponsorship or work authorization.
