Call for Applications: CFD Summer Fellowships
Please find full application details here.
The Center on Forced Displacement Summer Fellows Program offers graduate students (enrolled in master’s or doctoral programs) from across Boston University an opportunity to engage in intensive interdisciplinary research and writing on topics related to forced displacement.
The 10-week fellowship (May 30 – August 2024) includes a financial stipend of $6,000, mentorship provided by researchers and affiliate faculty, as needed, at the Center on Forced Displacement, and support and guidance throughout the research project design and implementation. CFD offers two different fellowship tracks:
- Track 1: This fellowship track is designed to support graduate students seeking financial and logistical support to work on their thesis or dissertation or another ongoing project
- Track 2: This fellowship track is designed to support students who want to work on existing CFD research projects and gain additional skills and experience. This track offers a possibility of extension of the fellowship beyond the summer term for interested and qualified students who wish to continue the research work on their assigned project.
The deadline for applications is April 5, 2024.
Candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application by mid-April.
All applications should be submitted by email to cfd@bu.edu as a SINGLE PDF document.
