Applications from all academic disciplines are welcome for the 2023-24 application cycle. The application deadline is January 17, 2023.
Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available. During the one-year fellowship, each fellow will be expected to pursue their own research, be in residence in the Cambridge/Boston area, and contribute to Fairbank Center programs.

Priority will be given to candidates working in the humanities or social sciences; however, we also welcome applications from scholars in other fields. Priority will be given to applicants who are planning to work with specific Harvard faculty members.
The one-year fellowship period is from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024. An Wang Fellows are expected to reside in the Greater Boston area for the duration of the fellowship.
