Abstract
CISAC is an interdisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to producing policy-relevant research on international security topics. It is devoted to teaching and to training the next generation of security specialists,… more » to influencing policymaking in international security, and to developing a more informed public discussion.
The Center serves as a forum for scholars and security professionals to explore complex international problems and innovative solutions in a collegial and collaborative environment. The fellowship program is an integral part of this mission. CISAC Fellows, Visiting Scholars, and Faculty spend the academic year engaged in research and writing, and are encouraged to participate in seminars and to interact and collaborate with leading faculty and researchers. Natural scientists have the opportunity to conduct research on the scientific and technical aspects of security topics, as well as to work in collaboration with faculty members.
CISAC fellows may focus on any of the following topics: nuclear weapons policy and nonproliferation; nuclear energy; cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, and the future of the Internet; biosecurity and global health; implications of geostrategic shifts; insurgency, terrorism, and homeland security; war and civil conflict; consolidating peace after conflict; as well as global governance, migration, and transnational flows, from norms to criminal trafficking. CISAC welcomes other research proposals on international security topics.
CISAC residential fellows are expected to produce a finished piece of writing. For predoctoral fellows, this means finishing dissertation chapters or the dissertation itself. For postdoctoral fellows, this could be writing articles or making significant progress turning a thesis into a manuscript. For scientists or professionals, this generally means writing a publishable article. Fellows are expected to be on campus throughout the fellowship. They are expected to participate in the CISAC community by participating in research seminars and, when appropriate, by collaborating with colleagues, senior researchers, and faculty.
CISAC offers numerous fellowships. Applicants will be considered for all fellowships for which they are deemed eligible. Current fellowship opportunities include:
– Social Sciences or Humanities International Security Fellowship
