Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship

The Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship, sponsored by the Stanton Foundation, offers younger, postdoctoral scholars studying nuclear security issues the opportunity to spend twelve months at CFR's offices in New York or Washington, DC, conducting policy-relevant research. This transformational program enables selected fellows to lead a project of their own design, conduct original research, write at least one policy-relevant document, and contribute to the Council's work on nuclear security issues. The fellows will also be mentored by the fellows in CFR's David Rockefeller Studies Program. 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 fellowship runs for twelve months, preferably beginning in September. Fellows will be based in either CFR's New York or Washington, DC, office and should expect to work on-site at least three days per week.
