Objective
The Jacobs Foundation Research Fellowship Program is a globally competitive fellowship program for early and mid-career researchers whose work is dedicated to improving the learning and development of children and youth worldwide. The relevant disciplines include, but are not limited to, education sciences, psychology, economics, sociology, behavioral science, computer science, pedagogy, linguistics, neurosciences, and science of learning.
Particularly encouraged to apply are scholars who seek to combine multiple levels of analysis and engage in interdisciplinary work. A special focus lies on work to understand and embrace variability in learning; promote the generation, transfer, and practical application of evidence on human learning and development or increase the capacity to scale up effective education policies and practices.
Eligibility
The ideal candidate has received their PhD or equivalent degree within the past 10 years (leaves are taken into consideration), must be employed by an institution of higher education or research institution, be conducting high-quality research in an area of interest to the Jacobs Foundation and be committed to engaging with the Foundation, its activities, and the Fellowship Network.
