John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies

Description

Up to ten postdoctoral and dissertation fellowships to students. These fellowships are designed to promote basic research in the broad area of security and strategic affairs. Of particular interest is research into the causes and conduct of war, military strategy and history, defense policy and institutions, civil-military relations, and the ways in which the United States and other societies can provide for their security in a dangerous world.

Eligibility

In awarding fellowships, preference is given to graduate students who have made progress on their dissertation and are likely to complete them during their fellowship and recent Ph.D. recipients.
