Mexico Public Policy Scholars Program 2009

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations are pleased to announce this year’s Mexico Scholars Program. Successful applicants will have the option of spending two months this summer (June 29 - August 28, 2009) or four months this fall (September 8 - December 24, 2009) in residence at the Woodrow Wilson Center in the heart of Washington, DC, where they will carry out advanced, policy-oriented research and writing designed to bridge the gap between the academic and policy communities.
Eligibility:
The competition is open to scholars currently residing in Mexico. Applications will be accepted from individuals in academia, business, journalism, government, law, and related professions. Candidates must be currently pursuing research on key public policy issues facing Mexico, which may include Mexico-U.S. relations. Applicants must have the terminal degree in their field (for academics, this generally means a PhD, but other professions have different terminal degrees), and at least eight years of professional or research experience. Preferences will be given to applicants who have published scholarly books or substantial articles in academic or policy-related journals or newspapers.
For more information about the program or for more details on the application process please visit: www.wilsoncenter.org/mexico.
Deadline: May 1, 2009
