The Ston Nuclear Security Fellowship 2026–2027 is currently accepting applications. Candidates are urged to visit here to learn more about this opportunity and to apply.
Opportunity Details
The Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship, sponsored by the Stanton Foundation, offers younger, postdoctoral 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 in CFR's David Rockefeller Studies Program.
The fellowship runs for twelve months, preferably beginning in September. The program will award a stipend of $101,000 for postdoctoral fellows in 2026-27. Payment will be made in twelve equal monthly installments. Fellows are considered independent contractors rather than employees of CFR and are not eligible for employment benefits, including health insurance.
Interested candidates who meet the program's eligibility requirements can apply online between October 15 and November 30 2025, for the 2026-27 fellowship cycle.
