The King Center on Global Development at Stanford University is seeking applicants for its Predoctoral Research Fellows Program. The link to the application is here. The application deadline is January 7, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST.

The King Center's Predoctoral Research Fellows Program is a full-time, two-year postbaccalaureate program designed to prepare individuals for careers in academic research focused on issues related to global development. The program provides a diverse set of fellows with the opportunity to gain research experience and preparation for applications to PhD programs and doctoral studies. This multidisciplinary program operates in partnership with the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Predoctoral Research Fellows will have the opportunity to work directly with Stanford faculty mentors on topics including climate change, migration, and public health.

The King Center’s Predoctoral Research Fellows Program particularly encourages applications from students from low- and middle-income countries, as well as from others whose backgrounds and experience would contribute to the diversity (broadly defined) of the program. The King Center is committed to creating inclusive research environments and to fostering the growth of the next generation of researchers in global development.
