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 Program 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.

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.   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.

The program is only open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States.

The deadline for receiving all application materials for the Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship Program is December 15, 2010, for application details and other information on the program visit here.
