CPD Now Accepting Applications for the 2011-13 Research Fellowship Program

The Center is now accepting applications from scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy for the 2011-2013 term.* CPD Research Fellows will be expected to oversee a substantive research project that 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 blog series for the CPD Blog, or another type of product which the Fellow develops with CPD.

CPD welcomes proposals for examining both contemporary and historical public diplomacy conducted anywhere in the world. The selected candidates will each receive a $2,000 stipend awarded at the successful completion of the fellowship, as well as limited travel expenses for one visit to the Center, where they will meet with students and faculty to discuss their project. In addition, the Center will offer research assistance to CPD Research Fellows from students in the Master of Public Diplomacy program or related degree programs at USC. Three non-resident fellows will be selected every year, each serving a two-year term.

Applications are due by close of business on Monday, August 1, 2011. For details on how to apply, click here.

*Please note that USC students and faculty are ineligible for the non-resident CPD Research Fellowship.
