CASBS (Stanford) fellowships

The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University invites applications for residential fellowships during the 2014-2015 academic year. This sabbatical fellowship provides an excellent opportunity for faculty to pursue priority research while engaging in a diverse, interdisciplinary intellectual community. We ask your help in identifying and encouraging applications from communication scholars. The Leonore Annenberg and Wallis Annenberg Fellowship in Communication was established at CASBS in 2004 to fund CASBS Fellows who

  • advance scholarship in the field of communication as it has emerged since the mid-20th century, and
  • are engaged with communication scholarship as their primary field.

We appreciate your assistance in ensuring that outstanding, innovative communication scholarship is a vital part of our multidisciplinary group of Fellows.

CASBS offers a supportive, stimulating, and peaceful environment in which to work. A CASBS fellowship award is considered a career milestone for any scholar, and most recipients report that the year had a transformative effect on later work. CASBS considers applications from scholars in a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary areas in the social and behavioral sciences, and humanities.
