Scholars and Fellows

Scholars and Fellows

CHF’s fellows reside at the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry and the Center for Contemporary History and Policy which comprise the center for scholars within CHF.

Our fellowship program brings together pre- and postdoctoral scholars from all over the world. Their common denominator is research on the history and sociology of chemistry and related sciences, technologies, and industries.
