Applications are invited for the Adam Smith Fellowship 2023-2024 at the Mercatus Institute at George Mason University. The Adam Smith Fellowship is a co-sponsored programme of the Mercatus Center and Liberty Fund, Inc. Adam Smith Fellowships are awarded to graduate students attending PhD programmes at any university and in any discipline, including but not limited to economics, philosophy, political science, and sociology.

As such, Adam Smith Fellows spend three weekends during the academic year and one week during the summer participating in workshops and seminars on the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy. Fellows will join a network of Mercatus students, alumni, and scholars who are conducting and engaging with cutting edge research in contemporary political economy.
