The postdoctoral research scholar competition for the 2026-27 academic year is now closed.
The Center sponsors postdoctoral fellowships intended to provide early-career scholars with time to undertake research and/or writing for projects that will make substantial and original contributions to the understanding of political economy. Each lab has at least one postdoctoral fellow whose time is divided between their own research and the lab’s explorations and activities. Fellowships aim to support scholars affiliated with institutions of all types from all regions of the world, and who bring viewpoints and backgrounds that seek to expand the knowledge of the Idea Lab in which they are housed.
The Center welcomed eight postdoctoral research scholars for the 2025-26 year. Learn more about them and their projects.
