Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship

Junior faculty at law schools or with a law degree as their terminal degree are also eligible.

CFR does not sponsor for visas. The program awards a stipend of $110,000 for junior faculty and $80,000 for postdoctoral fellows. CFR awards two fellowships annually. The online application deadline is December 15.
International Affairs Fellowship in Nuclear Security, sponsored by the Stanton Foundation

The IAF-NS is only open to faculty members with tenure or on tenure-track lines at accredited universities and who propose to spend a year working in government or at an international organization. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States and be between the ages of twenty-nine and fifty. CFR does not sponsor for visas.
