Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for its 2026-2027 Lightning Scholars Program. This program brings untenured, but tenure-track, faculty at either the assistant or associate level from around the world to Philadelphia for a semester or year of writing, fellowship, and bridging the gap between academia and the policy world. Since launching in 2016, Perry World House has catalyzed interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research by scholars at Penn and around the globe and convened conversations in Philadelphia on the most pressing global challenges. With fellowship and scholar programs, Perry World House has connected Penn’s students and faculty with the world’s leading academics and policy makers, infusing our research, teaching and, engagement with the ideas, wisdom, and experience of those shaping world events. This fellowship program allows untenured faculty members at leading research universities around the world to join Perry World House and the Penn community for a semester or full academic year in residence in Philadelphia to produce a major research project or book. While the fellowship program is for faculty working on global affairs topics, preference will be given to faculty working on subjects broadly related to Perry World House’s thematic research areas: Climate Change, Democracy, Global Justice and Human Rights, and Security.

Established in 1977 to honor the memory of Harold Rosenthal, a Senate staff member who was a victim of a terrorist act while on official duty at age 29, the Rosenthal Fellowship program provides graduate students in international affairs with the opportunity to intern at a congressional or executive branch office for the summer. The Rosenthal Fellowship is part of the Partnership’s Future Leaders in Public Service Internship Program team. Rosenthal Fellows will join Future Leaders interns for shared programming, including the program kickoff, closing, and professional development opportunities, and will also participate in Rosenthal-specific development and cohort activities. The Rosenthal Fellowship offers two concurrent pathways to placement following acceptance into the program:  1. Apply directly to internship positions in federal, state, or local government agencies, as well as Congressional offices. If you secure an internship independently, please consult with the Future Leaders team before accepting the position. 2.
