The Mershon Center for International Security Studies' postdoctoral scholars support research related to international, national, and human security in a global context. Because the center recognizes international security from a wide range of perspectives, approaches, and substantive foci, postdoctoral scholars come from a variety of social-scientific and humanistic disciplines. During these two-year positions, postdoctoral scholars pursue their own research, offer support and input to research and programming initiatives, and participate in the activities of the center.

Applications for 2026-2028 postdoctoral scholars are now being accepted.
