The Mercatus Center’s James Buchanan Fellowship is a competitive one-year fellowship program offered to researchers who have recently finished their doctoral studies in any field.
The purpose of this fellowship is to support early-career researchers in their critical engagement with Adam Smith’s political economy as well as the theories of the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economics.
Additionally, James Buchanan Fellows will gain knowledge of how these ideas are currently being applied to social science investigations into the institutional underpinnings and dynamics of social, political, and economic coordination.
Mercatus Center James Buchanan Fellows are expected to:
- On the days the colloquia start, arrange with their home institution to cover any teaching assignments that might cause scheduling conflicts with travel, and work out their schedules so they can get to the colloquium site by 4 p.m.
- Organize their calendars and reach suitable agreements with suitable parties to fulfill any teaching assignments and other obligations that may cause scheduling conflicts.
- Respect customary codes of conduct for professionals when attending the program’s locations. Send in reimbursement requests for out-of-pocket expenses no later than 15 days following each colloquium’s conclusion.
- Respect the guidelines, instructions, and deadlines that Mercatus Center employees provide regarding their involvement in the fellowship.
