SSRC Fellowships

 Social Science Research Council Offers Fellowships on
        Global Security and Cooperation

 Deadline: December 2, 2002

 A program of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC),
 the Fellowships on Global Security and Cooperation are
 designed to support research on the causes and conditions
 of international conflict and insecurity.

 Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the
 human security implications of human rights; inequality;
 religious, national, and ethnic revivalism; military
 affairs; weapons proliferation and arms control; peace-
 keeping and peace-building; the spread of disease;
 ecosystem degradation; international migration; inter-
 national crime; trafficking in humans; food supplies;
 and global finance and trade. Priority will be given to
 proposals that offer innovative perspectives on issues
 of security in this broad context.

 Fellowships are awarded in the following catagories:

 Dissertation Fellowships on Global Security & Cooperation
 are available for students working toward the Ph.D. degree
 or its equivalent anywhere in the world. Fellowships last
 for two years. Applications are invited from Ph.D. students
 whose research would directly benefit from a year of work
 experience in a non-governmental, international, or
 multilateral organization directly involved in peace,
 international cooperation, or security issues

 Postdoctoral Fellowships on Global Security & Cooperation
 are available for scholars holding the Ph.D. degree or its
 equivalent anywhere in the world. The fellowships, which
 last from 12 to 18 months, must be completed in two stages:
 the first stage (six months minimum) involves working in
 a practitioner institution; the second involves conducting
 research related to that experience. Applications are in-
 vited from scholars whose research would directly benefit
 from a period of work experience in a non-governmental,
 international, or multilateral organization directly
 involved in peace, international cooperation, or security
 issues.

 Research Fellowships for Professionals Working in Inter-
 national Affairs are available to individuals with 5 to
 15 years of experience working on issues directly related
 to global security and international cooperation. SSRC
 seeks to attract applications from NGO professionals,
 activists, government and multilateral organization
 officials, journalists, doctors, lawyers, and others. The
 fellowships last from 8 to 18 months. Applications are
 invited from practitioners who wish to conduct research
 relevant to their professional experience in the human
 security field.

 cation procedures.
