Affiliated Fellows

NEST has three categories of Affiliated Fellows: Senior Fellows, Visiting Fellows, and Junior
Fellows.

Senior Fellows

Senior Fellows have experience in government, the private sector, or non-profit organizations and have an ongoing relationship with NEST. They are appointed by the Dean of Social Science in consultation with the Director of NEST for a two-year term, renewable for two additional consecutive terms. Senior Fellows may be re-appointed after a two-year furlough, though they may continue without the furlough under exceptional circumstances, and on the recommendation of the Director of NEST and the Dean of Social Science.

Visiting Fellows

Visiting Fellows have experience in academia, government, the private sector, or non-profit organizations but reside at NEST during their term and return to employment elsewhere after the completion of their term at NEST. They are appointed by the Dean of Social Science in consultation with the Director of NEST, on the advice of the Governing Council, for terms ranging from six months to two years. Visiting Fellows have access to office, computer and library resources for the term of their Fellowship.

Junior Fellows

Junior Fellows have experience in academia, but are in the early stages of their career: Junior Fellows are typically post-doctoral researchers, but exceptional PhD students in the final year of their program may also be considered. They are appointed by the Dean of Social Science in consultation with the Director of NEST, on the advice of the Governing Council, for a two-year term.
