The America in the World Consortium (AWC) is a dynamic partnership of universities seeking to create a more vibrant debate among policy-interested scholars about America’s role in the world. We are committed to preparing the next generation to confront geopolitical challenges and advance American national interests abroad. The AWC prioritizes an intellectually diverse research community and supports fellows across a variety of disciplines. The AWC offers predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships for students to live and work at one of our three partner institutions.
- Duke University, Program in American Grand Strategy (AGS)
- Johns Hopkins University, Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at SAIS
- University of Texas at Austin, Clements Center for National Security
Applicants from all disciplines whose research bears directly on American grand strategy, broadly defined, are welcome to apply. However, preference will be given to applicants in the fields of history, political science, public policy, classics, and political philosophy whose research has a strong connection to policy.
Fellows will spend the substantial portion of their time working on their own research and writing projects, while taking advantage of the many academic resources available at their host institution. Additionally, fellows will be required to play an active role in the host institution’s programs and activities. The fellowship offers a competitive stipend, access to campus facilities, and a wide range of resources on campus.
Please contact AWC Program Director Emma Rogers with any questions.
