MIT Security Studies Fellowship
Nuclear Security Fellows Program
Overview
The Nuclear Security Fellows Program seeks to stimulate the development of the next generation of thought leaders in nuclear security by supporting research that will advance policy-relevant understanding of the subject. Fellowships are available for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral scholars and for junior faculty. Fellows are expected to produce policy-relevant research, including book manuscripts, draft articles, dissertations, chapters in edited volumes, or reports. Nuclear security as a subject of study is an umbrella term that includes nuclear war, nuclear terrorism, nuclear proliferation, nuclear weapons, nuclear force posture, and, as it relates to nuclear security, nuclear energy.
Eligibility
Fellowships are available to scholars with a PhD or equivalent degree (e.g., MD or JD) from the United States or abroad. PhD candidates must have at least three chapters of their dissertation completed, and their dissertation topic must be in nuclear security. Proposed research for the fellowship must be consistent with the mission of the program described above.

Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship - Council on Foreign Relations
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 Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship, sponsored by the Stanton Foundation, offers younger 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 of CFR's David Rockefeller Studies Program.
