The Hoover Institution at Stanford University is seeking outstanding post-doctoral scholars for appointments at the rank of Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution. Immediate start date considered, one year commitment.

Scholars will be associated with the Hoover Global Policy and Strategy (GPS) Initiative: National Security for the 21st Century.

Ongoing efforts include a sustained Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue, development of an innovative maritime strategy for the Indo-Pacific region, exploration of deterrent concepts for a new era, research on European and Eurasian security after the war in Ukraine, and addressing issues involved in preserving the All-Volunteer Force. Successful applicants will pursue their own research within a framework that includes political, economic, military, geopolitical, institutional, and technological elements of these and related topics. The position is located at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and will be partnered with Hoover Fellows that include General James N. Mattis, USMC (Ret), Admiral James O. Ellis, Jr., USN (Ret), and James P. Timbie, a former senior official at the U.S. Department of State.

About Stanford University’s Hoover Institution: The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace is a public policy research center devoted to the advanced study of economics, politics, history, and political economy—both domestic and foreign—as well as international affairs.

Founded in 1919 by Herbert Hoover before he became the thirty-first president of the United States, the Institution began as a repository of historical material gathered at the end of World War I. The library and archives have grown to be amongst the largest private repositories of documents on twentieth-century political and economic history. Over time the Institution expanded its missions from collecting archival material to conducting advanced research on contemporary history and economics and applying this scholarship to current public policy challenges.

With its eminent scholars and world-renowned library and archives, the Hoover Institution seeks to improve the human condition by advancing ideas and promote economic opportunity and prosperity while securing and safeguarding peace for America and all humanity.
