Cybersecurity Fellowship
We are seeking research fellows to study policies related to conflict in cyberspace.
Programs and Projects: Cyber Security Project
For: Predoctoral candidates and recent recipients of a Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Mid-career professionals may be considered.
Application Deadline:The application is now open. The application period will close at 11:59pm EST on January 15, 2019. All recommendation letters will be due on February 1, 2019. Decisions will be announced by March 29, 2019.
As our dependence on information technology for all aspects of civilian and military activities grows, so does the challenge of keeping networks secure. One of our primary goals is to help policymakers develop a conceptual arsenal to better understand conflict in cyberspace. While we are particularly interested in researchers working on cyber conflict issues (such as the offense/defense balance and escalation control in cyberspace), we also welcome applications from researchers working on cybersecurity issues more broadly (such as protecting critical infrastructure from cyber attacks or navigating the tradeoffs between privacy and security).
