CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: CFPPR POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research, Ankara, Turkey
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow!
The Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research (CFPPR) located at Bilkent University seeks applications from recent PhD recipients (January 2024 and onwards) for its Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
The main purpose of the CFPPR (https://www.foreignpolicyandpeace.org) is to help develop agendas and promote policies that contribute to the understanding of peace, security, and development. The Center also aims to provide a platform for homegrown conceptualizations of international relations and foreign policy research. Applicants from all disciplines whose research bears directly on International Relations are welcome to apply, but strong preference will be given to applicants whose research ties in most closely with the Center’s aims.
Fellows will be required to play an active role in the Center’s programs and activities, including regular seminars and workshops, and the production of the Center’s journal All Azimuth: A Journal of Foreign Policy and Peace as theManaging Editor. Fellows are also expected to spend their time working on their own research and writing projects as well as to apply for research grants on behalf of the Center in coordination with the affiliated faculty. Therefore, experience in project writing for grants is an asset.
Fellows accepted to the program will be offered a competitive stipend and office space at the Center. Each appointment is for one year, with consideration for renewal for a second year.
Applicants should send a CV, cover letter, research proposal, and names of two references in an email with subject “Fellowship Application” to fppr@bilkent.edu.tr. Deadline for applications is April 15th, 2026.
