The Visiting Scholars Program at CES

Every year, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies is pleased to host a number of Visiting Scholars from the US and abroad. The Center welcomes applications from post-doctoral social scientists and historians who are working on modern Europe.

The Harvard and CES communities provide an intellectually stimulating environment for scholars of modern Europe. Visitors take part in a weekly seminar that is an opportunity for them to present work in progress and receive feedback from colleagues in their field. In addition, the Center has a full program of talks, study group sessions and conferences in which visitors are encouraged to participate.

Scholars are admitted on a competitive basis for a period of at least three months and up to one year. Most will have their own source of funding such as sabbatical salary or grants since the Center does not generally provide funding for Visiting Scholars.


All questions and inquiries concerning Visiting Scholars should be addressed to the Executive Director of the Center, Dr. Patricia Craig at pcraig@fas.harvard.edu.
