Current Opportunities
GRI Post-Doctoral Fellowship - Security and Foreign Policy
The Global Research Institute (GRI) at William & Mary invites applications for a two-year
Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Security and Foreign Policy. This position is designed to strengthen GRI’s research capacity in this area, increase the diversity of our scholarly community, provide a mentored learning experience to the postdoctoral fellow, and support and provide additional research opportunities for undergraduate students. The Institute seeks to attract promising researchers and educators from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, and other diverse populations whose life experiences and research experiences will contribute significantly to the academic mission of William & Mary and GRI.
The Post-Doctoral Fellow will have the opportunity to work with GRI’s research labs and the GRI Security and Foreign Policy Initiative. The Fellow will join the vibrant intellectual community at GRI, a multidisciplinary hub that brings together academics, practitioners, and students to conduct applied research on pressing global issues.
GRI Post-Doctoral Fellowship - The Diplomacy Project
The Global Research Institute (GRI) at William & Mary invites applications for a two-year
Post-Doctoral Fellowship for the Diplomacy Project, a new collaboration between two research labs at William & Mary: The Political Psychology and International Relations (PPIR) research lab and GRI’s NukeLab. The Diplomacy Project aims to develop and test new predictive empirical models of diplomacy and its effects on deterrence, escalation, and the maintenance of international security. The post-doctoral scholar and the lab directors, with the support of student research fellows, will study various aspects of face-to-face diplomacy, digital diplomacy, and crisis diplomacy, and their effects on international security more broadly. Data and methods for the project may involve case studies of diplomatic initiatives, collection and analysis of data on diplomatic visits and digital diplomacy efforts, and/or interviews with practitioners in diverse countries and contexts. As an equal collaborator, the post-doctoral fellow will shape the direction and execution of the project with the lab directors.
Additionally, for each year of the fellowship, the post-doctoral scholar will teach one course; direct a team of undergraduate researchers; and receive mentoring from faculty members and/or senior researchers affiliated with the Institute.
