International Affairs Fellowship for Tenured International Relations Scholars (IAF-TIRS)

The Program

The Council on Foreign Relations’ International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) for Tenured International Relations Scholars offers tenured international relations professors practical experience in the foreign-policymaking field through placement at a U.S. government agency, in Congress, or with an international organization for a period of twelve months. The program will match 50 percent of the fellow’s base salary for the academic year at their university (up to a maximum of $80,000 for the year).

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 enabling selected fellows to become 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 community.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants should be tenured faculty based at a U.S.-based college or university whose research focuses on international relations or U.S. foreign policy. Applicants must hold a PhD, have a pre-arranged sabbatical with their home university, and hold U.S. citizenship. Strong preference will be given to candidates with limited experience working in the U.S. government or with an international organization.

How To Apply

Interested candidates can apply online between April 11 and October 31, 2020.
