For regular readers who also happen to be pre-doctoral or post-doctoral acadmics, the Stanton Foundation has funded a series of fellowships in nuclear security. Here is a list of participating institutions:
✽ Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
✽ Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington, DC
✽ Center for Security and International Cooperation Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
✽ Council of Foreign Relations, New York, NY
✽ Institute for International and Strategic Studies, London, UK
✽ RAND, Santa Monica, CA/Pittsburgh, PA/Washington, DC
(For reasons that totally baffle me, the Carnegie Endowment has not posted its announcement yet.)
Be mindful: the due dates, application materials and salary vary from one place to the next, sometimes greatly. (The salary range, for example, runs from the Harvard discount of $20,000 over ten months for a pre-doctoral fellow up to $100,000 over a full year for post-docs at some other institutions. In fairness, academic institutions like Harvard and Stanford do have equity issues that need to be respected.)
As a colleague at one of the institutions noted, “It’s a great opportunity for young academics, and pretty much everyone who’d be of interest probably reads the blog.”
Well, there you go, stick that on your curriculum vitae!
