Applications are open for the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School International Security Fellowship 2026/2027. The Centre for International Security at the Hertie School offers non-stipendiary fellowships for researchers.

Research fellows will be listed on the centre’s website, will benefit from access to the Hertie library and may be provided with desk space at the Centre, subject to availability.
Research fellows are expected to spend time at the Centre in Berlin and actively participate in the Centre’s activities, such as presenting their research in the research colloquium, attending Centre events, and contributing to research activities.
