Visiting Scholars
Each year the Mershon Center for International Security Studies
hosts visiting scholars with a variety of research interests
for varying amounts of time, from a few weeks to a few months.
We are especially interested in scholars who do not require
salary support.
The visiting scholar program promotes collaborative research
between Ohio State University faculty members and their colleagues
around the world. Scholars can further their research by working
with Mershon faculty and participating in center activities.
