1. The Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellowship in Business History
To be awarded for twelve months' residence study, and research at Harvard Business School, July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012.
The fellowship is open to scholars who, within the last ten years, have received a Ph.D. in history, economics, or a related discipline. The fellowship has two purposes: The first is to enable scholars to engage in research that will benefit from the resources of Harvard Business School and the larger Boston scholarly community. About two-thirds of the fellow's time will be available for research of his or her own choosing. A travel fund and a book fund will be provided. The second purpose is to provide an opportunity for the fellow to participate in the activities of Harvard Business School.
Approximately
one-third of the fellow's time will be devoted to school activities, including attendance of the Business History Seminar, and working with faculty teaching the business history courses offered in the MBA curriculum. The fellow is required to research and write a case, under the direction of a senior faculty member, to be used in one of the business history courses. Finally, the fellow is encouraged to submit an article to Business History Review during his or her year at the School.
Applicants should submit a CV, undergraduate transcript and graduate-school record, thesis abstract, and writing sample (such as an article or a book chapter). Applicants should also state the topics, objectives, and design for the specific research to be undertaken. Finally, applicants should indicate the names of three people who will write references on their behalf. The three letters of recommendation are to be submitted by the writers directly by October 1, 2010. It is the responsibility of the applicant to solicit these letters. The fellowship will be awarded and all applicants notified by mid-January 2011. Hard copy materials submitted with applications will be returned only if accompanied by postage and a self-addressed return envelope.
Applications should be received no later than October 1, 2010 and submitted online to:
www.hbs.edu/research/faculty-recruiting/faculty-applicants. If there are
materials that can only be sent in hard copy, please send them to:
Walter A. Friedman Rock Center 104 Harvard Business School Boston, MA 02163, email:

2. The Alfred D. Chandler Jr. Travel Fellowships
The purpose of this fellowship is to facilitate library and archival research in business
or economic history. The program will encourage research concerned to relate historical
reality to underlying economic theories of business development. Individual grants range
from $1,000 to $3,000.
Three categories of applicants will be eligible for grants:
Harvard University graduate students in history, economics, business administration, or a related discipline, such as sociology, government, or law, whose research requires travel to distant archives or repositories; Graduate students or nontenured faculty in those fields from other universities, in the US and abroad, whose research requires travel to the Boston-Cambridge area (to study, for example, in the collections of the Baker, Widener, McKay, Langdell, Kress, or Houghton libraries); and Harvard College undergraduates writing senior theses in these fields, whose research requires travel away from Cambridge.
The deadline for receipt of applications is November 1 of the calendar year preceding that in which the fellowship is to be used. For additional information, write to Walter A. Friedman, Rock Center 104, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163. Email wfriedmanhbs.edu
