Yale University’s Program in Baltic Studies invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship of variable duration (four to nine months during the 2016-17 academic year) in the following fields: law, economics, business and finance, environmental policy, political science, international relations, and history.
In 2012 the Kazickas Family Foundation established the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Yale to support the Baltic Studies program in the MacMillan Center's Council on European Studies. The Fellowship provides resources for visiting scholars and researchers from Lithuania to study at Yale and organize workshops and seminars on campus about issues relevant to the Baltic Sea region.
Only citizens of Lithuania may apply. Applicants should have completed their Ph.D. before September 2016 and at the time of application must be working in, or affiliated with, a university or research institute in Lithuania. After completion of the fellowship the recipient will be expected to return to work in Lithuania for at least two years.
The Fellow will be expected to be in residence in New Haven, to participate in the activities of the Yale Baltic Studies Program, and to make at least one public presentation at Yale during the period of the fellowship. The stipend for 2016-2017 is expected to be up to approximately $4,400 per month, plus benefits such as medical insurance.
The review of applications will begin on 25 March 2016 and will continue until the position is filled. Only on-line submissions will be accepted. Yale University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Applications from women, members of (underrepresented) minority groups, protected veterans, and persons with disabilities are particularly encouraged.
Application Materials Required:
- All application materials must be submitted in English
- Cover letter, including proposed duration of the fellowship (between four and nine months), indicating clearly what months of the year and the rationale for the proposed period.

- Research statement (no more than 1000 words)
- Two reference letters, one from the applicant’s academic supervisor and one from an additional faculty member or appropriate administrator at the university or institute at which the applicant is affiliated. The reference letters should address the applicant’s research and the broader significance of this research for higher education and research in Lithuania. These letters are to be submitted by the reference writers through the Interfolio site.
- Proof of English language proficiency such as TOEFL score, IELTS score, or transcript from a previously-attended institution where the primary language of instruction is English.
