Schar School Postdoctoral Fellow

The Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University is accepting applications for its first annual post-doctoral fellowship honoring the four founders of what was called The Institute of Public Policy (TIPP), which has been subsumed into the Schar School.

This year we honor Professor Emeritus Roger S. Stough. Applications must focus broadly on the theme of regional economic development. The postdoctoral fellow will receive a stipend of $60,000, a research and training allowance of up to $10,000, and moving expenses of up to $2,000. Fellowship candidates should expect to teach one course per semester. This should be incorporated into the proposal. Applications should be submitted electronically to Prof Jim Olds (jolds@gmu.edu) no later than February 1, 2020.
