Full Text of JOE Listing:

In the academic year 2023-24, the Berggruen Institute and the USC Dornsife Center on Science, Technology, and Public Life will sponsor up to ten (10) fellowships at the University of Southern California.

The selected USC Berggruen Fellows will work on project(s) under at least one of the Berggruen’s key thematic areas of research: The Planetary, Future Humans, Future of Capitalism, and the Future of Democracy. Applicants should plan to apply to participate in and contribute to one of the specific projects listed below during their fellowship period. Read about the projects here: https://dornsife.usc.edu/stpl/usc-beggruen-fellowship-application/

USC Berggruen Fellows can be either academics or unattached intellectuals (for whom the Berggruen Fellowship may serve as a retreat from work in industry, government, or the arts) but above all must be committed to intellectual work of the highest quality. Applicants should have a terminal degree or commensurate research expertise in the appropriate field of study.

The term of the fellowship is flexible. Stipend is commensurate with qualifications. For a full-year fellowship, Fellows with academic appointments will receive a stipend based on half of their annual academic year salary, up to $75,000 with the expectation that their home institution will make up the remainder. Fellows without sabbatical half-salary or a similar partial remuneration package can be paid up to $90,000 or more, depending on position and seniority. Fellows will be provided with $3,000 in research funds. Fellows from outside the Los Angeles area will be offered housing assistance and relocation subsidy.
