RESEARCH APPOINTMENTS

The strength of Hoover's research program lies in recruiting scholars of exceptional ability within the disciplines of economics, history, law, political science, and sociology. They work together, melding their individual expertise in an effort to understand interdisciplinary issues and shed light on important policy dilemmas of our time.

Resident Hoover fellows are the foundation of the research program. They are among the very best scholars and policy analysts in their fields; many hold joint appointments on the Stanford faculty.

Affiliated fellows—scholars from other research institutions and universities—offer expertise that complements, strengthens, and adds depth to that of the resident fellows. Affiliated fellows spend varying periods of time in residence at Hoover each year, with appointments that last a number of years.

Visiting fellows include a wide variety of U.S. and foreign scholars, diplomats, government officials, and other distinguished visitors who spend from a few weeks to a full year at Hoover, bringing with them a continual influx of expertise and ideas.

Media fellows are top print and broadcast journalists who typically spend a week at a time in residence at Hoover, giving them an opportunity to pursue their own projects in a new environment and acquaint themselves with the Institution and its research.
