CALL FOR SCHOLARS (pdf)

The Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies International Urban Fellows program is designed to create a worldwide network of professionals engaged in the study of urban policy. It brings scholars in urban policy studies outside of the U.S. to the Hopkins campus each year for a program of advanced study, research and training. Positions in the program are available at the Senior or Junior level and for either four or eight months.

The program will benefit promising researchers who will gain a semester or academic year of reflection, exposure to American and cross-national experience, and immersion in the literature and issues of urban policy. Successful candidates should have strong interests and a proven record of accomplishment in the urban policy field, the capability to conduct independent inquiry into some facet of the growth, decline, and revitalization of cities and the welfare of urban residents, and a solid fluency in spoken and written English.

Please note that our application deadline for the 2008-2009 academic year is April 1, 2008.

Special sponsored fellowship opportunities are available for Swedish and Italian scholars and practitioners.

More detailed information and application procedures can be obtained by visiting our website at http://www.jhu.edu/ips. Questions may be directed to Marsha R. B. Schachtel at mschacht@jhu.edu.
