Council on Foreign Relations Hiring for International Affairs Fellowship for Tenured International Relations Scholars at New York, NY Full Time

The Council on Foreign Relations’ International Affairs Fellowship for Tenured International
Relations Scholars (IAF-TIRS), sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, offers tenured academics from a variety of scholarly
backgrounds practical experience in the foreign policy–making field. The fellowship is geared toward professors whose research and
teaching are connected to peace and security issues and who seek a twelve-month placement at a U.S. federal government agency, in Congress,
or with an international organization.

The fellowship helps close the gap between research and practice on peace and security as
well as enrich the teaching and scholarship of tenured academics by giving fellows experience as practitioners. The program also benefits
policymakers by exposing them to critical scholarly research relevant to the foreign policy and national security issues facing the United
States and the world.

The Fellowship Award

The fellowship is for twelve months. The Council on Foreign Relations
will match 50 percent of the fellow’s base salary for the academic year (up to a maximum of $80,000 for the year) as well as provide
modest assistance for moving expenses for those who need to relocate for the fellowship. Fellows are considered independent contractors
rather than employees of CFR and are not eligible for employment benefits, including health insurance. No indirect costs can be deducted
from the stipend award.

CFR will assist selected fellows in finding a suitable placement for their fellowship year. CFR cannot
guarantee placement at any particular agency, office, or organization.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants must be an
American citizen and have tenure at a U.S.-based college or university whose research focuses on international relations, peace and
security issues, U.S. foreign policy, or other related fields. Applicants must hold a PhD, have a prearranged sabbatical with their home
