$50,000 Security for A New Century Congressional Fellowship
SNC develops and facilitates a rich program of study group sessions on international security issues. The purpose of the study group is to assist Members of Congress and their staffs in better understanding the common characteristics of today’s security issues, and to provide a feedback loop between Congress and the agencies over which it has oversight for international issues. All sessions are off-the-record, interactive, and aimed, toward developing pragmatic, workable solutions to today’s complex security problems.
The Security for a New Century Congressional Fellow serves for one year, with an option for continuing into a second year. The fellowship will begin in July 2009. The Fellow will work within a host Congressional office and in partnership with an office of the opposite political party to coordinate and facilitate educational programming and outreach for the Security for a New Century (SNC) project. SNC is a bipartisan study group created in 1998 to educate congressional staff about the significant security challenges confronting the United States in the post-Cold War era. The SNC fellowship will provide a unique opportunity for a foreign policy- and politically-savvy professional to witness policy formulation firsthand, and to lead study groups on a diverse range of foreign policy and security topics for Members of Congress and their staffs. The fellowship cultivates leadership and professional skills, provides exposure to a wide range of issues and actors within the international security arena, and provides first-hand exposure to Congress and the policy process.
The fellowship is a one-year appointment with an optional second year upon mutual agreement between the Fellow and the Center. Fellows will receive annual compensation of $50,000 plus benefits, as well as a professional travel allowance.
Applications are due May 15th, 2009!
