Research Network (non-residential)

The deadline date for receipt of applications for Network Fellowships for the 2010-11 academic year has passed, and we are no longer accepting applications.

Please consider applying next year.


The Network Fellowship is a new program connecting a cross-disciplinary group of scholars and practitioners around the world who are currently working independently on issues of institutional corruption as academic research projects or applied within their organizations. The purpose of the network is to connect these researchers and practitioners with each other to inspire new works of scholarship, and applications that are designed to solve problems of institutional corruption. The Network Fellowship program is a new program at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics for the 2011-2012 academic year.

The Network Fellowship Program is non-residential in nature. Network Fellows are invited to the Center's offices in Cambridge, MA twice during the academic year to meet with other Fellows, present their work, and brainstorm new ideas. Network Fellows residing in Cambridge will be invited to the weekly seminar of the Edmond J. Safra Research Lab. Network Fellows residing elsewhere will be connected to others Fellows throughout the year via a number of online channels. In most cases, Network Fellows are not funded by the Center, however a small amount of funding could be made available to execute a specific project related to institutional corruption. During their tenure in the program, Network Fellows will have the title "Edmond J. Safra Network Fellow," at Harvard University.

How to apply

Applicants wishing to join the Network should submit a proposal describing the research or project they are currently working on, and how that research relates to the work of the Lab. The Lab would be particularly enthusiastic to receive proposals addressing issues such as conflicts of interest, public trust of institutions, and institutional discrimination from either a research perspective, or from a practice perspective offering tools that address these topics.

Letters of reference are not required for this fellowship program. Applications are generally accepted from September - January for fellowships commencing in the following academic year, though specific application procedures will be posted later in the summer.
