Fully Funded APSA MENA Fellowship 2026

Fully Funded APSA MENA Fellowship 2026 in Doha for Early-Career Scholars

The American Political Science Association (APSA) is pleased to announce a Call for Applications from early-career scholars who would like to participate in a four-day in-person workshop that examines the theme of participatory and engaged research in the MENA region. Organized in partnership with the Doha Institute (DI), the fellowship will be held from January 5-8, 2026 at DI in Doha, Qatar.
The workshop is part of a multi-year effort to support political science research among early-career scholars in the MENA region and to strengthen research networks linking Arab scholars with their colleagues overseas.

Benefits

  • The organizers will cover participation costs, including travel, lodging, and materials for up to 20 qualified applicants.
  • Following their full participation in the fellowship, fellows will receive a one-year membership to APSA.
    The workshop organizers seek applications for projects that focus primarily on the following sub-themes:
  • Approaches to participatory research, with discussion of different modes of participatory research, the questions they can (and can’t) answer, and how to ground them in academic debates.
  • Real-world examples of successful participatory and/or engaged research projects.
  • The promises and pitfalls of survey research in the MENA.
  • The challenges of integrating diverse data sources (key-informant interviews, focus groups, survey data, participant observation).
  • Reflections on research collaborations, with discussion of philosophical, ethical, and pragmatic considerations beyond formal ethics review.
  • Reflection on positionality on and off the page and how it relates to political science research.

Applications are open to advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scholars (those who received their PhDs within the past 5 years), as well as early-career PhDholding practitioners who are citizens of countries in the MENA region.
