Fellowship Details
CDDRL pre/postdoctoral fellowships are for 9-months (September-June). We offer 2-4 fully funded residential fellowships each academic year. Our pre/postdoctoral fellowships are intended to support writing and research while in residence at Stanford, as such, we are not able to accommodate fieldwork or extended travel.
Pre-doctoral fellows receive stipends comparable to that awarded by the Stanford Graduate Fellowships program; the Center also pays non-matriculated student tuition for pre-doctoral fellows as required by Stanford University.
Post-doctoral fellows receive stipends/salaries commensurate with experience and with consideration given to university-established minimums for a term period of 9 months.
Healthcare and other benefits are also provided as required by Stanford University for both pre- and post-doctoral fellows.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide housing. We can, however, refer fellows to the housing information that Stanford provides.
Fellows spend the academic year at Stanford University completing their projects, participating in seminars, and interacting with each other and the resident faculty and research staff. The Center facilities on the Stanford campus include offices and cubicles. Fellows have access to other Stanford libraries as well as exercise facilities.
The application cycle for the 2025-2026 academic year is open now closed.
