Deadline: August 31, 2018

USC Center on Public Diplomacy (CPD) is accepting applications for the CPD Research Fellowship Program for the 2018-2020 term. CPD launched this non-resident Research Fellowship program to support and publicize the work of scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy. Three non-resident fellows are selected every year, each serving a two-year term.

CPD Research Fellows will be expected to oversee a substantive research project that will yield at least two outputs, including one publication for the CPD Perspectives on Public Diplomacy series. The second output could consist of a series for the CPD Blog, or another type of product that the Fellow develops with the Center. These outputs will be due by June 1, 2020.

Benefits

• The selected candidates will each receive a $2,000 stipend upon successful completion of the fellowship.
• In addition, the Center will offer research assistance as needed and as available from students in the Master of Public Diplomacy (MPD) program or related degree programs at USC.

Eligibility

• Open to scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy
• CPD welcomes proposals that examine both the historical and contemporary practice of public diplomacy conducted anywhere in the world.
• Please note that USC students and faculty are ineligible for the non-resident CPD Research Fellowship.
