Description
The Managing the Atom Fellowships are offered by the Project on Managing the Atom (MTA) at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School. These fellowships are designed for scholars and practitioners interested in advancing research and writing on nuclear policy, nuclear security, and related topics. Fellows join a collaborative research community, gain access to Harvard faculty and experts, and are expected to pursue independent, policy-relevant research in areas such as nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, nuclear energy, and international security. The program encourages interdisciplinary approaches and aims to build a diverse and inclusive cohort of researchers in science and international affairs.
