Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellowship

Harvard Business School and the Newcomen Society of the United States support a postdoctoral fellowship in business history for twelve months of residence and research at Harvard Business School. Fellowships normally run for the academic year, July 1 to June 30. The stipend is currently $46,000. The purpose of the award is to enable scholars who have received a Ph.D. in history, economics, or a related discipline within the past ten years to improve their professional acquaintance with business and economic history, to increase their skills as they relate to this field, and to engage in research that will benefit from the resources of the Harvard Business School and the Boston-area scholarly community. The successful applicant will participate in the school's business history courses, seminars, and case development activities. The application deadline for 2007-2008 is October 1, 2006. For additional information, write to Walter A. Friedman, Rock Center 104, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163, USA. Or email wfriedman@hbs.edu.


The Alfred D. Chandler, Jr., Travel Fellowships

The purpose of this fellowship is to facilitate library and archival research in business or institutional economic history, broadly defined. The program will encourage research concerned to relate historical reality to underlying economic theories of business development. Individual grants range from $1,000 to $3,000, with a total fund of $15,000.

Three categories of applicants will be eligible for grants: 1) Harvard University graduate students in history, economics, business administration, or a related discipline, such as sociology, government, or law, whose research requires travel to distant archives or repositories. 2) Graduate students or nontenured faculty in those fields from other universities, in the US and abroad, whose research requires travel to the Boston-Cambridge area (to study, for example, in the collections of the Baker, Widener, McKay, Langdell, Kress, or Houghton libraries). 3) Harvard College undergraduates writing senior theses in these fields, whose research requires travel away from Cambridge. The deadline for receipt of applications for the 2007 calendar year is November 1, 2006. For additional information, write to Walter A. Friedman, Rock Center 104, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163, USA. Or email wfriedman@hbs.edu.
