United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) Graduate Studentships

The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) Graduate Studentships offer a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to engage in cutting-edge research on disarmament and international security. These studentships are designed to support the next generation of scholars and practitioners in the field of disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation. UNIDIR, as a leading research institute within the United Nations system, provides a dynamic environment where students can contribute to policy-relevant research and gain hands-on experience in global security issues. The studentships typically cover research expenses, travel, and a stipend for the duration of the program. Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program (master’s or PhD) in a related field such as international relations, political science, law, or security studies. The selection process is competitive, based on academic excellence, research proposal quality, and relevance to UNIDIR’s work. Successful candidates will work under the supervision of senior researchers and may have the opportunity to publish their findings. The duration of the studentship varies but usually ranges from 3 to 6 months. This is an excellent chance for students to network with experts, attend conferences, and contribute to meaningful research that influences global policy.
