Description
The Hoover Fellows Program offers research-focused appointments for outstanding early-career scholars at the Hoover Institution, a research center on Stanford University’s campus in Stanford, California. Fellows develop and publish scholarship with implications for public policy, including scholarly articles and books. Relevant fields include economics, history, international relations, national security, political science, and public policy.
The appointment carries no teaching responsibilities, placing research and publication at the center of the fellowship. Fellows are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Hoover Institution and are encouraged to engage with Stanford’s broader research community in their respective fields. The program connects scholars with an institutional environment devoted to rigorous, independent policy scholarship and scholarly discussion of public policy.
