Current Research Opportunities
The Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program offers scientists and engineers from a wide variety of disciplines unique opportunities to conduct research in a wide range of topics relevant to the Intelligence Community. The research is conducted by the Postdocs, while working in partnership with a Research Advisor and collaborating with an advisor from the Intelligence Community.
In partnership with the Research Advisor, the Postdoc composes and submits a technical proposal that responds to a current research opportunity.
U.S. citizens and recent Ph.D. graduates or doctoral students who will soon complete their degrees are invited to apply.
Application deadline is February 28, 2020.
