Nuclear Security Fellowship, USA

Overview

Nuclear security is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. The spread of nuclear weapons to unstable and hostile states, the risk of conflict between nuclear armed nations, and the potential for terrorist groups to acquire nuclear arms all demand new thinking and creative policy solutions. The Nuclear Security Fellowship Program, made possible by a generous grant from the Stanton Foundation, offers younger scholars studying nuclear security issues the opportunity to spend a period of twelve months at the Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) offices in New York or Washington, DC, conducting policy-relevant research.

Fellowships

CFR will award up to three fellowships in 2011. The fellowships will be awarded on the basis of academic and professional accomplishments and promise, and on the merits of the specific research projects proposed. The fellows could work on a wide range of issues, including nuclear terrorism, nuclear proliferation, nuclear weapons, nuclear force posture, and, as it relates to nuclear security, nuclear energy.

It is expected that fellows will begin their fellowship year in summer or fall 2011. While in residence at CFR, fellows will be expected to lead a project of their own design, conduct original research, and write at least one policy relevant document. Fellows are expected and encouraged to participate fully in CFR's intellectual life. The scholars selected as Nuclear Security Fellows will be mentored by the fellows of CFR's David Rockefeller Studies Program.


Eligible Candidates

The Nuclear Security Fellowship Program seeks to stimulate the development of the next generation of thought leaders in nuclear security. Candidates may be junior (non-tenured) faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral candidates from any discipline who are working on a nuclear security related issue.

Funding Information

Junior (non-tenured) faculty will receive a $100,000 stipend. Post-doctoral and pre-doctoral fellows will receive a $50,000 stipend. Payment will be made in twelve equal monthly installments.
