Visiting Fellowship
About
The South Asia Program Visiting Fellowship is a year-long research fellowship combining professional development in research, writing, and public presentation skills. Annual cohorts spend ten months conducting research in their home countries and two months in Washington, DC, gaining extensive exposure to regional and international policymaking communities. Since 1993, the South Asia Program has offered the Visiting Fellowship to outstanding analysts, scholars, and researchers in India and Pakistan. Former fellows have gone on to senior leadership positions in think tanks, academia, media houses, and government.

Fellows are selected based on criteria such as the quality of their research proposal, research and writing aptitude, and fit with the Stimson Center’s research interests. Frequent, high-quality contributors to SAV will be given special consideration.
Applicants must be from India or Pakistan to apply. Please bear in mind that the Visiting Fellowship is primarily intended for early to mid-career professionals and scholars with a demonstrated interest in and capacity for conducting research on South Asian security issues.
