Opportunity: postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows in international security for AY 2027-2028, Program on International Relations and International Security, Harvard University
Deadline for the postdoctoral fellowships is October 8, 2026
Deadline for the predoctoral fellowships is January 15, 2027
The Program on International Relations and International Security and housed at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, IRIS represents FAS’s first major reinvestment in the security space following the sunsetting of Olin and the National Security Studies Fellows programs.
IRIS will officially be launched later this year, and as part of that process we are now searching for four postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows in international security for AY 2027-2028.
Fellows will come and spend a year at Harvard working on their research, with dedicated research support and time and space to advance their own scholarly agenda. The postdoctoral fellowships are intended for scholars who will have their PhD in hand by the start of the appointment.
Applications are now open for both positions.
• The application for the postdoctoral fellowships is available here: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/16699
• The application for the predoctoral fellowships is available here: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/16700
