Stanford Hoover Fellowship: Opportunities for Young Scholars

The Hoover Institution at Stanford University is inviting applications for its prestigious fellowship program, designed to support early-career researchers in advancing their academic careers. The fellowship is open to individuals who have already earned a PhD or are close to completing their doctoral studies by September 1, 2027. Researchers from fields such as economics, history, international relations, national security, political science, and public policy are encouraged to apply.

Fellows will have the opportunity to engage in advanced research, publish scholarly articles, and work on books that contribute to public policy discussions. The program provides access to Stanford’s academic environment and encourages collaboration with leading scholars. Unlike traditional academic roles, the fellowship does not include teaching responsibilities, allowing fellows to focus solely on research and writing.

To apply, candidates must submit a cover letter or statement of interest, recent publications or research drafts, a CV, a two-page outline of future research plans, and three recommendation letters. Applications must be completed by November 17 at 11:59 pm. Interested individuals can apply online through the Hoover Fellows Program page on the institution’s website.

The fellowship aims to provide financial stability and a supportive intellectual community for emerging scholars. By joining the Hoover Institution, fellows can expand their research networks, collaborate with leading academics, and contribute to impactful policy studies.
