Eden to share leadership of CISAC

Lynn Eden, CISAC's longtime associate director for research, has been named the center's acting co-director for the 2008-09 academic year. She replaces Scott Sagan, political science professor, who is on sabbatical. Eden's "deep knowledge of and long association with CISAC will guarantee a seamless transition," said Coit Blacker, director of the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies, where CISAC is based. In addition, Pavel Podvig, a CISAC research associate, will step into Eden's role this year. He will be responsible for research administration, mentoring of fellows, the annual social science fellowship selection process, working with foundations, and other center-wide management.
