PELL VISITING FELLOWS AND SCHOLARS PROGRAM

Pell Fellows | Pell Scholars

The Director of the Center may recommend to the University President that an individual be appointed as a Visiting Fellow in residence at the Pell Center. Visiting Fellows must apply to the Director for the position and provide a description of the activities they wish to undertake while in residence at the Center. Visiting Fellows are expected to engage full-time in research and writing while at the Center, to offer public lectures to the University community about the subjects of their research and/or writing, and to participate in other Center activities. Residence can range from periods of as little as a month to a maximum of six months. Individuals with recent experience in public policy positions nationally or internationally are encouraged to apply for positions as Visiting Fellows. Visiting Fellows report to the Director of the Pell Center.

Program Description

The Pell Visiting Fellows and Scholars Program invites thoughtful individuals with a demonstrated commitment to their fields the time and space to pursue sustained research and study.

Pell Visiting Fellows and Scholars are usually academics, policy analysts, or practitioners with a substantial background in issues relevant to one or more of the Pell Center’s focus areas, which include:

Global economic changes
Efforts at multilateral solutions to international problems
Examining the influences of globalization
The changed nature of security
Global resource stewardship and environmental protection
The arts and humanities

Most often, fellows/scholars engage in work related broadly to international relations, diplomacy, public policy, or government. On occasion, they may include young professionals engaged in such fields with outstanding leadership potential.
