PhD Student Funding Overview

Humanities Quadrangle Courtyard

At Yale, you can earn your doctorate at our expense. 

Our funding packages for Yale PhD students are among the most generous in the world. Every PhD student receives a fellowship for the full cost of tuition, a stipend for living expenses, and paid health coverage, though the details of your funding package will differ depending on your academic program. On average, doctoral students receive more than $500,000 in tuition fellowships, stipends, and health premium benefits over the course of their enrollment. Full PhD funding normally extends for a minimum of five years, unless your doctoral program is of shorter duration, e.g., Investigative Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Public Health. 

The main categories of funding available to PhD students are detailed below. Our Programs & Policies handbook contains additional information about funding and fellowship opportunities available at the Graduate School, along with applicable policies. 

If you have questions about your funding, you can ask your program registrar or DGS, Graduate Financial Aid, or Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels.

Types of Funding for PhD Students

University Fellowships (UFs) are provided through the Graduate School and do not require teaching in Yale's Teaching Fellow Program. UFs are often used during the initial year(s) of your doctoral program to cover your stipend and tuition, when you are engaged in coursework and identifying an adviser.

For official policies governing University Fellowships, including information on deferring a UF, please see our Programs & Policies Bulletin .

In subsequent years and in most programs, your stipend will be funded by a teaching fellowship or a research assistantship.

Teaching Fellowships (TFs) are contingent on teaching Yale's Teaching Fellow Program (TFP). While you are on a TF, a portion of your stipend is compensation for teaching. The rest of your stipend will come from other sources, depending on your department or program. See the Teaching Fellow Funding page for more information.

The teaching portion of your stipend is subject to federal tax withholding, so you will notice a difference in your paycheck in teaching versus non-teaching semesters.

In lieu of teaching in the Teaching Fellow Program, PhD students in the humanities and social sciences may choose to undertake one of the available Professional Development Opportunities . These positions allow you to gain professional experience at a library, museum, or other office on campus relevant to your studies. 

If you are in the natural sciences, your funding will likely come from training grants and faculty research grants at some point during your enrollment. In most programs, you may only join a research group that has active grant funding. Please consult with your DGS, if you have questions about this aspect of your funding package.

We strongly encourage you to compete for external fellowships. Winning an external award in a national competition, whether sponsored by a public or private agency, is a significant honor. External fellowships may be subject to our Combined Award policy. Please be sure to review our External Fellowships & Awards page to understand how external awards interact with university funding.

An external fellowship may also offer you added flexibility in your program. 

  • If you are a student in the natural sciences, an external fellowship may allow you to pursue a project or idea that is otherwise not eligible for financial support through your adviser’s research funding. 
  • If you are a student in the humanities or social sciences, an external fellowship might allow you to defer a University Fellowship (UF) to a subsequent term or year. 

You can search for external fellowships through the Yale Student Grants Database , other university search engines (e.g., UCLA ), and commercial sites .

You must notify the Graduate School of any external awards you receive. 

  • Send a copy of your award letter to the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] .
  • If your award is subject to the Combined Award policy, then you will receive a combined award letter via email when your award has been processed, outlining your updated funding package. 

For any questions and concerns regarding your combined award letter, please contact the Graduate School Financial Aid Office via email at [email protected]. Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels can also advise regarding our Combined Award policy.

Fellowship Opportunities Where to Find Them & How to Apply

Once reserved almost exclusively for PhDs and graduate students, fellowships are now increasingly open to a much wider student base — and in some cases, even non-students in the early stages of their careers. Most fellowships are paid but the value of a fellowship goes far beyond a monetary stipend. Those who are accepted into these programs, which are often highly competitive, gain advanced professional experience that’s typically hard to come by in positions right after college. Successful candidates also earn the coveted title of "fellow," which is bound to catch the eyes of prospective employers. Keep reading to learn more about fellowship programs, where to search for them, what to know when applying and what to expect along the way.

What are Fellowships?

What are the benefits, how to apply, prioritizing your proposal, how to nail the interview, examples of fellowship opportunities, where to find more fellowships.

Fellowships are short-term programs that can last for several years but are generally limited to a few months. Unlike most internships, fellowships generally come with paid stipends. In some cases, fellows enjoy additional benefits like health care, housing or student loan repayment. The real benefit, however, is the professional development that fellows can expect to get out of the experience. These competitive programs require significant commitment from the candidate, and no matter what type of fellowship you're pursuing, you should apply for a fellowship you're truly ready to see through to the end. Fellowships can be awarded, administered and funded by universities and colleges, corporations, nonprofits, foundations, media groups and governmental entities.

Given the structure of fellowships, fellows usually gain significant experience quickly. They’re given weighty responsibility and are expected to meet demanding challenges that otherwise would likely be reserved for higher-level professionals. Fellowships foster professional development, provide intensive training and open the door to high-level networking opportunities.

Once accepted into a program, fellows are given the professional support and resources needed to pursue and achieve accomplishments that would rarely be available to interns or professionals at the beginning of their careers. Fellows receive training and unique mentorship opportunities and are exposed to instructors, speakers and leaders who are at the top of their fields — many of whom were likely fellows themselves. The work fellows do is challenging, interesting and highly applicable to their academic and professional pursuits.

There are, however, some drawbacks to keep in mind. The rigorous application process can be stressful. On top of that, a serious, binding commitment is required and the stipends awarded rarely compete with the salaries that someone qualified for a fellowship could command in the job market. Fellowship compensation can vary widely but as an example, at the University of California, Berkeley , $25,000 for a 9-12 month program is considered generous. Berkeley fellows also receive healthcare coverage, student loan repayment assistance and stipends for housing. Other fellowships may offer such benefits – or more – but it’s not always a guarantee.

According to Crystal Olivarria, a career coach at Career Conversationalist , applying for a fellowship is more rigorous and in depth than applying for a job or even admission into a university. A big part of getting it right, she says, is adopting the right state of mind.

"Fellowships should not be viewed as prizes to win but rather as rewards earned," Olivarria says. She goes on to explain that fellowships should be thought of as advanced scholarships. “They usually require a more detailed application process. This is because fellowship administrators want to know what candidates have done, what knowledge and skills were gained and how that all can be applied to the cause the fellowship supports."

If you've identified a fellowship you'd like to pursue, you might be wondering about next steps. One of the key ingredients to a successful application is getting an early start. "Schedule plenty of time to apply, don’t rush through the process," advises Olivarria. She notes that the application process can be complex, requiring lots of prerequisite paperwork — like intent-to-apply forms — all of which come with strict submission deadlines. Personal statements — which are required for most fellowships and tend to carry significant weight among administrators and review committees — require multiple drafts, revisions and fine tuning. If you don't leave yourself enough time, you'll put additional stress on yourself, are more likely to encounter errors or miss important steps and won’t show administrators and committees what you’re truly capable of.

Start by getting your preliminary documents in order, including your resume, transcripts and letters of recommendation. The committee will want to review these foundational documents first. From there, they'll move onto the heart of your application — the fellowship proposal.

Recommended Online Programs

Your proposal is the part of the application that gives you the opportunity to introduce yourself to the committee, explain what you intend to accomplish and present your case for why you're the right candidate. The good thing is your proposal doesn't have to be submitted as a finished product — most review committees expect your goals, plans and intentions to evolve throughout the process. But a proposal should provide evidence that you've carefully thought through why you want the fellowship and how you can contribute to the program.

Fellowship applications and the proposals they require all have unique guidelines and procedures, which applicants must understand completely before they get started and follow closely once they do. While you should read through all requirements carefully, there are some basic guidelines that can be applied to most fellowship proposals. Prospective fellows should consider the following when drafting a proposal:

If you're applying for a fellowship, chances are you're a specialist who has traveled a long path toward an academic niche. It's likely that at least some of the people reviewing your application won't hail from that world. You’ll want to demonstrate your knowledge but should avoid industry jargon and complex language that only those in your field are likely to understand.

Write in a conversational tone that's neither too manufactured nor too informal. Let your personality come through and stick to language and ideas that are truly your own.

A fellowship proposal is where you will share your accomplishments with the committee so they can understand what you've achieved. Modesty won’t help you, but neither will bragging — and never, ever exaggerate or embellish any accomplishments or accolades.

You're more than likely not going to get it right on the first draft. The revision process is as important as the writing process, and you'd be wise to get a second — or third or fourth, if possible — set of eyes on your proposal before you submit. Your school's alumni organization might be able to pair you with a mentor or advisor, and alumni of the fellowship program itself are uniquely qualified to review your work. As Olivarria sums it up, "Look for ways to enhance the application by consulting with a mentor and asking for their feedback and input."

A strong application containing a well-crafted proposal can lead to an interview with administrators and a review committee. Whether or not interviewing is your strong suit, preparation is key to this critical part of the process. Like proposals, interviews can include a wide spectrum of possible scenarios and formats so there's no one correct way to prepare. Also like proposals, however, there are a few standards for success that can be applied almost universally during fellowship interviews. Candidates should consider the following to prepare for an interview.

You're likely to emerge from the application process feeling like you know every nook and cranny of the fellowship program. The reality, however, is that it all can blur together during the frantic race to submit paperwork, meet deadlines and compile all the necessary materials. Now that the dust has settled, take some time to revisit the program details, brush up on exactly what the fellowship entails, who it's designed for, what it hopes to accomplish and why you felt you were a good match in the first place.

Even if you started early, the application process was probably still stressful and hectic. Re-read what you wrote, how you presented yourself, what language you used and the strengths you highlighted. Your application, after all, represents the totality of everything your interviewers know about you. It's also going to be the basis for many of the questions they’ll ask you during the first critical meeting.

You will, of course, have to answer plenty of questions, but you'll almost certainly be asked to present your interviewers with questions of your own. This is an excellent chance to demonstrate how much time you've taken to learn about the fellowship and the people and work involved. This is a good opportunity to showcase your inquisitive nature and your critical-thinking skills but it’s also a good time for you to get more information on things that weren’t clear or on details that weren’t discussed in the program description.

You'll of course be asked to discuss where you've been, what you've done and where you see yourself in the future, even if it's just the near future in terms of the fellowship. But be prepared for off-topic questions designed to let interviewers see the core of your personality and experiences. They might ask about your favorite historical figure, your biggest weakness or something you would have done differently if given the chance. They are, after all, trying to get a better understanding of who the real you really is, which leads to the final point.

Preparation is key. Reciting rehearsed, canned answers that you presume a review committee might want to hear is not. It's natural to be guarded when you're nervous but try to let your true personality shine through — it's gotten you this far, after all. Remember that you're there because the committee was impressed with you, your work, your style and your ambitions. People win fellowships. Rehearsed answers and lists of accomplishments do not.

In many cases, fellowship programs are offered, directed and funded by colleges and universities. In those cases, the application, interview and acceptance processes are usually conducted through the higher learning institution itself. A few examples of these college- and university-specific fellowships include programs like those offered through:

  • The University of Colorado
  • NYU School of Law
  • Columbia University
  • Northeastern University
  • Stanford University
  • University of California, Berkeley

For prospective fellows who don't yet know exactly what program they're even looking for, but do know their school of choice, it might make more sense to search the target school's fellowship database, which many prominent colleges and university now maintain. Examples of university- and college-based databases include:

  • Cornell University Fellowship Database
  • University of Chicago Fellowship Database
  • Yale University Fellowships and Funding

Five Johns Hopkins scientists named Sloan Research Fellows

Stephen fried, benjamin grimmer, justus kebschull, jonathan lynch, and yahui zhang recognized for their potential to become leaders in their respective fields.

By Aleyna Rentz

Five Johns Hopkins faculty members have been named 2024 Sloan Research Fellows , a prestigious award celebrating rising stars in academia. In all, 126 early-career scholars were recognized this year.

Awarded annually since 1955 by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation , the fellowship honors exceptional U.S. and Canadian researchers whose creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments make them stand out as the next generation of leaders. Open to scholars in seven fields—chemistry, computer science, Earth system science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics—the Sloan Research Fellowships are awarded in close coordination with the scientific community. To date, fellows have gone on to win 57 Nobel Prizes and 71 National Medals of Science.

Candidates must be nominated by their fellow scientists and winners are selected by independent panels of senior scholars based on a candidate's research accomplishments, creativity, and potential to become a leader in their field. More than 1,000 researchers are nominated each year. Winners receive a two-year, $75,000 fellowship which can be used flexibly to advance the fellow's research.

Including this year's winners, 87 faculty from Johns Hopkins University have received a Sloan Research Fellowship.

The five newest Sloan recipients from Johns Hopkins University are:

Stephen Fried

Assistant professor, departments of Chemistry and Biophysics

Artificial intelligence is surprisingly good at folding proteins into their correct 3-D structures, and yet proteins themselves are surprisingly not good at this task—oftentimes they are prone to "misfold" or stick together, which causes them to lose their functions and make cells sick. These processes are at the root of most neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and may also be a factor in aging more broadly. Stephen Fried 's research pioneered the use of mass spectrometry proteomics to interrogate protein folding on the scale of entire proteomes. These studies have provided an array of insights on questions as diverse as the molecular basis of aging, the origins of life, and the function of disorder in the yeast proteome.

Benjamin Grimmer

Assistant professor, Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics

Benjamin Grimmer has recently become fascinated with computer-aided optimization of the algorithms used to solve big real-world problems. A new wave of results in his field (optimization) has made computers provably good at this. Many of our now strongest algorithmic guarantees have only been made possible thanks to computer-assistance. Grimmer's research also recently had breakthrough results, covered by Quanta Magazine , showing that a new computer-aided analysis approach can beat the well-established textbook theory for gradient descent.

Justus M. Kebschull

Assistant professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering

Justus Kebschull 's research aims to understand the structure and function of the brain. To do so, he takes a comparative approach and engineers molecular, viral, and sequencing technologies to measure neuronal connectivity networks and gene expression at scale in disease models and a wide range of vertebrates. He developed the first barcode sequencing-based approaches to map neuronal connectivity, increasing throughput of single-neuron mapping by orders of magnitude and opening the door to single-cell comparative connectomics. He complements these barcoding approaches by in situ sequencing of barcodes and genes. Leveraging these technologies, his team asks questions including: How do new brain regions and connections evolve to support new computations? What are the organizing principles and fundamental circuit motifs of the vertebrate brain? And how do drugs of abuse and neurodevelopmental disorders break these principles? His work is highly interdisciplinary, residing at the interface of molecular engineering, neuroscience, synthetic and evolutionary biology, genomics, virology, and computational biology.

Jonathan Lynch

Assistant professor, Biochemistry, Cellular, and Molecular Biology Graduate Program

Animals, including humans, have stable relationships with communities of microorganisms collectively referred to as the microbiota. These communities profoundly influence the biology of their hosts, impacting host features such as immune function, metabolism, and even so-called "higher" traits such as cognition and social behavior. Due to the wide range of microbiota-associated effects on host biology, understanding host-microbe relationships is not only important for understanding the normal physiology of the host, but may also allow us to use the microbiota to intentionally shape host health. Jonathan Lynch focuses on several areas of host-microbe symbiosis, ranging from the fundamental features that govern these relationships to the translational prospects of using the microbiota to improve human health. This includes roles of intestinal bacteria in shaping host lipid and cholesterol metabolism, interactions between the microbiota and neurotransmitters, and the biophysical drivers of microbial colonization. He employs diverse techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry, and a variety of -omics platforms to explore our interactions with our microbial partners.

Yahui Zhang

Assistant professor, Department of Physics & Astronomy

Yahui Zhang works on theoretical condensed matter physics, which studies quantum materials with novel emergent properties due to the collective motion of many electrons. The current focus is in the following two directions: exploring new platforms for high temperature superconductor, for example, in bilayer nickelate material and in multilayer optical lattice; and engineering exotic fractional phases of matter in moire superlattices formed by twisting two sheets of two dimensional materials such as graphene.

As a postdoc, she will continue her explorations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) emissions, which have been linked to many diseases, including diabetes, respiratory diseases, and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on the contamination of outdoor air surrounding Superfund sites like the Neponset River.

Elana Ben-Akiva is an MIT-Northpond Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research focuses on leveraging biomaterials engineering approaches to activate or suppress the body’s natural defense mechanisms to treat various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases. The primary aims of her postdoc research will be to investigate saponin-based nanoparticle adjuvants in combination with toll-like receptor agonists and engineering novel adjuvants for HIV vaccination and to develop lipid nanoparticles with enhanced adjuvant activity and delivery properties to improve the efficacy of RNA-based HIV vaccines and cancer immunotherapies.

Shaniel Bowen is a School of Engineering Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research concerns the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pelvic floor disorders and, more broadly, improving women’s health and health equity. In her doctoral research, Bowen designed a study on racial disparity in women’s health research, characterizing age and racial diversity in normal pelvic anatomy in adult women and beginning to build an open-access repository of demographic/MRI data of a diverse cohort. Ancillary analyses of this study population led to her foundational studies of the clitoris and its correlation with sexual function in patients after vaginal surgery. As a postdoc, Bowen will continue to study the clitoris and its supporting structures in diverse populations.

Farhana Easmin is an MIT-Northpond Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in genomic engineering whose work is focused on genome editing and explorations of genome function and breeding, with the goal of building creative solutions to environmental and human health challenges. In her doctoral research, Easmin developed rapid and versatile genome editing tools for the creation of genome diversity in yeast. As a postdoc, Easmin will apply her experience in yeast genome engineering to environmental bioremediation, specifically the bioremediation of heavy metals and PFAS.

Michael Hagenow is an MIT-Boeing Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research focuses on creating effective and flexible systems for human-robot teaming across a range of applications, with a particular interest in methods for shared autonomy and robot skill acquisition.

Her postdoc research will focus on optimizing this model, with the goal of developing a high-throughput platform combined with a deep learning model. 

Sumin Kim is a Koch Institute Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research focuses on 3D genome organization and gene regulation. In her doctoral research, she pioneered quantitative super-resolution imaging techniques to explore cellular mechanisms underlying DYT1 dystonia, a neurodevelopmental disease. In particular, she discovered a novel context of nuclear pore complex (NPC) biogenesis in developing neurons and elucidated the role of torsinA, whose loss of function causes DYT1 dystonia in coordinating NPC assembly and spatial organization. As a postdoc, Kim will use 3D Super-Resolution Live-Cell Imaging to study the dynamics of Polycomb-group proteins and their target genes, which are critical for gene repression and development.

Kiana Naghibzadeh is a School of Engineering Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research explores the mechanical behavior of natural and architected materials using a combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. In her doctoral work, she focused on developing multiphysics models to study the dynamics of growth in evolving systems motivated by applications in 3D printing, glacial ablation (a primary driver of sea-level rise), and failure in batteries. As a postdoc, she will continue developing more realistic models and conducting basic experiments to study, predict, and understand the physics of real-world problems in the fields of biomechanics and advanced manufacturing.

Crystal E. Owens is a School of Engineering Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research lies at the intersection of precision manufacturing and complex fluid mechanics. Specifically, Owens seeks to improve manufacturing processes involving polymeric and structured fluids. As a doctoral student, Owens studied ink rheology and developed a direct-write printing technique for carbon nanotube (CNT) based inks, enabling the printing of flexible electronics as sensors. Now, as a postdoc in computational fabrication, she will focus on developing computational methods to design and evaluate new polymers fit for practical applications and develop new fabrication methods to create microarchitected materials from liquid solutions to build a path to better tissue engineering.

Abriana Stewart-Height is a School of Engineering Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, dynamical systems theory, machine learning, and legged locomotion. She seeks to develop assistive robotics devices that improve the mobility of persons with disabilities to navigate outdoor, unstructured environments. Her doctoral research focused on limb loss recovery in dynamic quadrupedal robots that perform remote operations in challenging environments with the aim of developing a generalized fault recovery strategy consisting of agile bio-inspired fault recovery gaits and a fault diagnosis learning technique. As a postdoc, Stewart-Height will shift her focus to health care robotics.

Jiawei Zhang is a School of Engineering Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow whose broad research interests include the design and analysis of fundamental optimization algorithms for decision-making, with applications to machine learning, operational research, power engineering, and a wide range of social science challenges in the big-data regime.

Her current book project on the family novel in Imperial Russia explores the ways in which the development of liberal thought in 19th-century Russia created space for the reimagining of both the form of the family and its role in the political—a reimagining in stark contrast to the eventual removal of the family from the political in Western liberal thought. This research is based, in part, on research undertaken in both Moscow and St. Petersburg in the archives of the Russian State Library and the Pushkin House, respectively. Her doctoral dissertation and current book project have been supported by an Alfa Fellowship, a University of Chicago Harper Dissertation-Year Fellowship, an Institute for Humane Studies Publication Accelerator Grant, and a Princeton University Press Book Proposal Grant. This is her first post-doctoral academic appointment, although she previously worked for the Moscow-based publishing house Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie (NLO) as an editorial assistant and translator during her graduate studies.

Mina Magda, September 2023 – August 2024 Dr. Magda is a scholar of Russian literature, visual art, and performance spanning the long nineteenth century and early Soviet period. Her interdisciplinary research centers politics of racial representation, gendered labor, and colonial culture. Becoming Modern: Negrophilia, Russophilia, and the Making of Modernist Paris, her current book project, examines the aesthetic interplay among modernists of the Russian and Black diasporas in Paris—namely, Josephine Baker and the Ballets Russes—the visual technologies of race-making that framed their careers, and their shared imbrication in the histories of celebrity and coloniality. She demonstrates how the comparison between Baker and the Ballets Russes helps us think of racial formation as a network of political, aesthetic, and commercial negotiations through which we can examine the limits and relational contingencies of racial self-determination, and ask at what cost conceptions of modern subjecthood were afforded. Magda received her PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Yale University in 2023 and holds an MA in Russian and Slavic Studies from New York University. Her doctoral dissertation was supported by fellowships at the Houghton Library and Beinecke Library and the MacMillan International Dissertation Research Fellowship.

Past Post-Doctoral Fellows

phd fellowship grants

Nikolay Erofeev, March 2022-May 2022

Dr. Erofeev is an architectural historian whose work focuses on socialist architecture and urban planning. His monograph project, ‘Architecture and housing in the Comecon’ looks at architecture and urbanisation patterns produced by global socialism. Combining in-depth scrutiny of the design of the built environment with an analysis of the everyday processes of subject-making that shaped the socialist project in Mongolia, the project aims to provide a new understanding of the urban and domestic spaces produced in the Global South. Erofeev received his D.Phil (PhD) in History from the University of Oxford in 2020 where he was a Hill Foundation Scholar and his specialist degree (M.A.) in the History of Art from the Moscow State University in 2014. His doctoral project discussed the design and production of prefabricated mass housing in the Soviet Union and argued the architectural story of this understudied ‘bureaucratic modernism’ represents a much more creative and influential development in the history of modern architecture as a whole. Erofeev had academic appointments at Manchester Metropolitan University where he was teaching Master of Architecture dissertations. Erofeev is currently conducting research at the University of Basel as a postdoctoral fellow supported by the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship.

Jennifer Flaherty, September 2020-August 2021

Dr. Flaherty is a postdoctoral fellow specializing in nineteenth- and twentieth- century Russian literature, culture and intellectual history, with current research interests in Hegel’s influence on Russian thought as well as labor theory. Her book project on representations of peasants investigates how the stylistic innovations of nineteenth-century Russian literature express the tensions of modernity that lie at the heart of its agrarian myth. She received her Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Literatures from the University of California at Berkeley in 2019, her M.A. in Humanities from the University of Chicago in 2010, and her B.A. in Philosophy from Appalachian State University in North Carolina. She’s had academic appointments as a visiting assistant professor in the department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William of Mary, and as a lecturer at in the Slavic department at UC Berkeley.

She has a forthcoming article in The Russian Review and has published in Tolstoy Studies Journal and PMLA.

phd fellowship grants

Nataliia Laas, September 2022-August 2023 Dr. Laas specializes in political economy, consumer society, gender, the history of the social sciences, and environmental history in the Soviet Union. She currently works on a book manuscript, provisionally titled A Soviet Consumer Republic: Economic Citizenship and the Economy of Waste in the Post-WWII Soviet Union. This project departs from the standard economy-of-shortages narrative and offers a different dimension, an “economy of waste,” to describe Soviet consumption. It argues that after World War II and especially with the onset of Cold War competition with the West, in addition to periodic shortages the Soviet state regularly confronted a new challenge: glutted markets, overproducing factories, and excess commodities. Unlike shortages that were often vindicated by the official Bolshevik ideology as the people’s sacrifice on the road to the country’s industrialization and economic growth, excess and waste were endemic to the malfunctioning of a command economy but far more difficult for authorities to explain and justify. By focusing on the emergence of socialist market research and consumer studies, the book explores how the economy of waste reshaped relationships between the state and its citizens. Laas received her PhD in History from Brandeis University in 2022. Her doctoral dissertation was supported by a Harriman Institute Carnegie Research Grant and a Mellon Dissertation Completion Fellowship from Brandeis, among others.

phd fellowship grants

Emily Laskin, September 2022-August 2023

Dr. Laskin specializes in the literature of Central Asia, working extensively in Russian and Persian. Her current book project,  No Man’s Land: The Geopoetics of Modern Central Asia , focuses on the literature of the so-called Great Game, the Russo-British rivalry for influence in Central Asia, putting Russian and British imperial writing on Central Asia in dialogue with contemporaneous Persian literature published across the region, from Kabul, to Bukhara, to Istanbul. Laskin’s recent work on the literature of the Great Game appears in  Novel: A Forum on Fiction , and she is an editor of the forthcoming volume  Tulips in Bloom: An Anthology of Modern Central Asian Literature . She received her Ph.D. in 2021 in Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley, and also holds an M.A. in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies from Columbia University. Her doctoral dissertation was supported by a Mellon/ACLS fellowship and a Berkeley Dean’s Fund grant for archival research in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

phd fellowship grants

Vladimir Ryzhkovskyi, November 2020-October 2021

Dr. Ryzhkovskyi studied Russian, Soviet and East European history in Ukraine, Russia, and the US, where he recently earned a PhD from Georgetown University. By foregrounding the link between empire, culture, and knowledge, Ryzhkovskyi’s research probes the place of Russia and the Soviet Union within global history, particularly in relation to forms of Western imperialism and colonialism. His current book project, Soviet Occidentalism: Medieval Studies and the Restructuring of Imperial Knowledge in Twentieth-Century Russia, explores the twentieth-century history of medieval studies in late imperial and Soviet Russia as a model for demonstrating the crucial importance of Soviet appropriation of Western culture and knowledge in the post-revolutionary reconstituting and maintaining the empire following 1917. In addition to pursuing the imperial and postcolonial theme in the history of Soviet modernity, Ryzhkovskyi has published articles and essays on the history of late imperial and Soviet education, the history of late Soviet intelligentsia, and Soviet philosophy. A volume of unpublished writings by the Soviet historian and philosopher Boris Porshnev, co-edited with Artemy Magun, is forthcoming from the European University Press in 2021.

phd fellowship grants

Delgerjargal Uvsh, November 2020-October 2021

Dr. Uvsh received her Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2020. She conducts research and teaches primarily in the field of comparative politics, with a focus on post-Soviet politics, the political economy of natural-resource dependence, institutional and regime change, and research methods. Using Russia as a critical case, Delgerjargal’s book project, “Reversal of the Resource Curse? Negative Revenue Shocks and Development in Russia and Beyond,” develops a theory of when and how declines in natural-resource revenue (negative revenue shocks) incentivize political elites to support private business activity and reverse the “resource curse.” Delgerjargal expanded her interest in the relationship between natural resources and institutional changes in a forthcoming book chapter, where she explores the short-term effects of negative revenue shocks on political regimes. Another extension, published in Land Use Policy , analyzes novel satellite data on forest-cover change in western Russian regions and shows that the dynamics of forest growth and deforestation have been different in the first versus the second decade of Russia’s transition. You can read more about Delgerjargal’s work at www.delgerjargaluvsh.com .

phd fellowship grants

Sasha de Vogel, September 2021-August 2022

Dr. de Vogel studies the politics of authoritarian regimes and collective action, particularly in Russia and the post-Soviet region. Her research examines when and why autocratic regimes promise concessions to protestors, how these promises affect mobilization and their impact on policies. Her research underscores that reneging, or deliberately failing to implement concessions as promised, is a fundamental strategic dimension of concessions. Her book project focuses on protest campaigns against the Moscow City government about policy-related grievances in the mid-2010s. During this period, more protest campaigns were promised a concession than experienced a detention, yet these concessions rarely resolved protesters’ grievances. Other research interests include comparative politics, authoritarian institutions, repression, authoritarian responsiveness and urban politics. Sasha received her PhD in Political Science from the University of Michigan in 2021, and also holds an MA in Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Regional Studies and a BA in Slavic Studies from Columbia University. Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation/Harriman Institute, among others.
