About CMSS research fellowships
The Centre for Military, Security, and Strategic Studies (CMSS) offers research fellowships for a six-month period wherein recipients are awarded research funds during the Fall or Winter semester and are expected to work on a research project within one of the specific CMSS research themes. Research fellows are expected to engage with and develop the Centre’s research profile. Fellowships will rotate to ensure thematic representation, and are available for any University of Calgary Faculty.
Fellowship competition opens in Winter term, and adjudication completes by May. For more information, please contact the director.
