Global Politics Lab (GPL) is opening applications!
The Global Politics Lab is opening applications for its 2023-24 GPL Fellowships. The fellowship is created to give high-quality, intensive, networked mentoring to students interested in high-level engagement in scholarly literature, analysis, and writing. Fellows will enroll in one credit of mentored research for the length of the fellowship (fall and winter). Fellows will be working on academic projects under faculty supervision. They will be required to make substantial progress on a publishable paper and to present their work at appropriate conferences. If agreeable to both faculty and student, the student may work on these or other projects for pay or credit. Hours put in by fellows are likely to exceed the explicit credit or pay received. Fellowships represent an opportunity for intellectual growth exceeding strict compensation.
The application deadline is Friday, March 24, 2023. To apply, please send the required information in a Word or PDF document to globalpoliticslab@byu.edu
