Harvard Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Opportunities

The 2027–2028 Harvard Radcliffe Fellowship has two official application deadlines rather than one universal deadline: humanities, social sciences, creative arts, nonfiction and journalism close September 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (21:00 UTC), while science, engineering and mathematics close October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (21:00 UTC). Fellows receive a $78,000 stipend plus $5,000 for project expenses and may be eligible for relocation, housing, childcare and healthcare support. Fellows must reside in the Cambridge/Boston area from September through May and participate in the fellowship community.

Applicants must satisfy the discipline-specific criteria published by Harvard Radcliffe. Current degree students and former Harvard Radcliffe fellows from 1999 to the present are ineligible. Humanities/social-sciences applicants generally need an eligible terminal doctorate awarded by December 2023 plus a monograph or at least two refereed articles/chapters; science, engineering and mathematics applicants need a doctorate by December 2023 plus at least five refereed articles. Nonfiction, journalism and creative-arts applicants have separate professional/publication requirements stated on the official page.
