What are the responsibilities and job description for the Jeane Kirkpatrick Visiting Fellows Program position at American Enterprise Institute?

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is inviting candidates to apply for an open visiting fellow position in the Jeane Kirkpatrick Fellowship Program in Foreign and Defense Policy Studies. The program is open to post-doctorate mid-career academics, government, and civilian professionals in foreign policy and security studies who are looking for an opportunity to deepen their work.

The program begins in Fall/Winter 2025, although the starting date for new Jeane Kirkpatrick visiting fellows is negotiable to accommodate existing personal and professional obligations. The program’s duration is one year from the start date, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Fellowship Benefits:

Guided by the belief that American liberties are best preserved by a robust national defense and US global leadership, visiting fellows will conduct in-depth research to produce policy recommendations intended to enhance American security and interests. AEI will assist visiting fellows in developing and disseminating their research by providing the support and training needed to publish serious longer works, place their work in the nation’s most-read publications, brief policymakers, and host public and private events at the Institute.

Application Process:

Qualified applicants should apply at www.aei.org/jobs and submit a resume and a 1,000-word statement addressing their academic interests, how this fellowship will enhance their professional goals, and which scholars they would like to work with in AEI’s foreign and defense policy department.

Join Us:

The Jeane Kirkpatrick Fellowship Program presents an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to national discourse and shape the future of foreign and defense policy. Visiting fellows earn $95,000 annually and are not eligible for healthcare benefits provided by AEI.
