The applicant should have strong interests in international security, nuclear policy, or energy security and, preferably but not necessarily, a background related to these fields. As a Ph.D. student under my supervision, your research would have to be at the nexus of public policy/political science and science/technology. If you are someone with a policy/political science background who wants to better understand the technical aspects of world-changing technologies or an engineering/physics student who wants to go beyond equations and study the impact of technologies on global security, I encourage you to apply!
