THE HARVARD-NEWCOMEN FELLOWSHIP IN BUSINESS HISTORY, 2009-2010 
HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL

Harvard Business School offers a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in 
business history to run July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010. The current 
stipend is around $60,000.

The fellowship is open to scholars who, within the last ten years, 
have received a Ph.D. in history, economics, or a related discipline. 
The fellowship has two purposes: The first is to enable scholars to 
engage in research that will benefit from the resources of Harvard 
Business School and the larger Boston scholarly community. About 
two-thirds of the fellow's time will be available for research of her 
or his own choosing.

The second purpose is to provide an opportunity for the fellow to 
participate in the activities of Harvard Business School. 
Approximately one-third of the fellow's time will be devoted to 
school-related activities, such as attending the Business History 
Seminar and working with faculty teaching the MBA business history 
courses. The fellow is required to research and write a case under 
the direction of a senior faculty member. The fellow is also 
encouraged to submit an article to Business History Review during 
their year at the School.
