Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is launching the inaugural Harry Frank Guggenheim Nuclear Ethics and Security Fellowship.
Eighty years after the beginning of the Cold War, the world again finds itself in a dangerous international nuclear environment. Despite decades of scholarship and diplomacy, nuclear capabilities continue to grow around the world at a time when historic, institutional restraints have weakened. Accordingly, the threat of a mass causality nuclear event lingers every day.
In 2025, Carnegie Council, in partnership with HFG, brought together researchers, practitioners, journalists, and religious leaders, to discuss “nuclear complacency” as a pressing threat to global stability. The findings of this convening were published in “Nuclear Complacency: A Report from the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs and The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation.”
Now, Carnegie Council is seeking a part-time, non-resident nuclear ethics and security fellow who will spend 12 months building on this work by leading an active research and education agenda addressing the decline of extended deterrence. They will do so through publications, policy engagement, convenings, and education of emerging leaders. The fellow will be expected to focus on the ethical choices presented by a more nuclearized world.
The deadline to submit a research proposal is 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 12, 2026.
