Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program supports independent postdoctoral research at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. The award spans humanities and social sciences, with cognitive science and demography also welcomed. EHESS emphasizes methodological innovation, critical tools, and new theoretical approaches, including interdisciplinary connections with public health, environmental sciences, and mathematics.
Scholars pursue a project in their area of specialization and participate in a seminar series at their associated research center. Proposals should reflect EHESS’s international dimensions and its research groups’ worldwide geographical scope. The exchange also advances Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between the United States and other nations through international understanding and cooperation. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with the host community.
