Applications are now being accepted for the William J. Perry Fellowship in International Security.  The fellowship is a visiting position for pre- and post- doctoral researchers that CISAC plans to establish in honor of William Perry, the 19th U.S. secretary of defense and former CISAC co-director.

Perry fellows will reside at CISAC for a year of policy-relevant research on international security issues. The will join other distinguished scientists, social scientists, and engineers who work together on security problems that cannot be solved within any single field of study. CISAC researchers address overlapping issues in nuclear weapons policy and nuclear proliferation; regional tensions; biosecurity; homeland security; and effective global engagement.

The deadline for applications is Feb. 1, 2009.
