HDS Yang Visiting Scholars in World Christianity Now Accepting Applications for 2025-26
“Apply to the Yang Visiting Scholars Program in World Christianity at Harvard Divinity School!
Please note the following description and eligibility requirements:
Responsibilities
Each visiting scholar teaches one course (either in the fall or in the spring semester) and presents their research in a public lecture, panel discussion, or events during their time at HDS. Yang Visiting Scholars are required to be in full-time residence at Harvard Divinity School while carrying out their proposed research projects and while teaching their course.
Any publication and/or research resulting from the stay at Harvard Divinity School must be credited to the Yang Visiting Scholars Program in World Christianity at Harvard Divinity School.
Eligibility
Positions are open to early career and senior scholars with doctorates in the fields of religion and to those with primary competence in other humanities, social science, and public policy fields who demonstrate a serious interest in World Christianity and hold appropriate degrees in those fields. Selection criteria emphasize the quality of the applicant’s research prospectus, teaching experience, publication plans, and the significance of the contribution of the proposed research to the study of World Christianity – its cultural, social and political contexts, viewed globally, and not only through the lens of specific regions. Yang Scholars for the 2025–26 academic year must have received the PhD (doctoral) degree by June 30, 2025.
Applications are only accepted through the Harvard employment website. No hardcopy/regular mail or email applications are possible.
