The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan global security organization focused on reducing nuclear, biological, and emerging technology threats imperiling humanity. We envision a world safe from preventable global catastrophe, and our mission is to transform global security by driving systemic solutions.
NTI offers Scoville Fellows the opportunity to embed in one of our policy teams, enabling them to make substantive, meaningful contributions to addressing nuclear, biosecurity, and emerging tech threats. Throughout the experience, we help Fellows build leadership, critical thinking skills, and networks that will serve them throughout their careers.
Depending on interest and expertise, Scoville Fellows may work in any of NTI’s programs:
- Global Nuclear Policy Program: Advancing practical nuclear risk reduction measures and strengthening global disarmament and the nonproliferation architecture.
- Nuclear Materials Security: Working to strengthen global nuclear security and prevent nuclear terrorism, with a major program to ensure the global expansion of nuclear energy is structured only for peaceful purposes
- Global Biological Policy and Programs: Promoting systemic change to improve biotech governance, reduce biological weapons, and advance global health security capacities.
- FutureSafe: AI and Emerging Technology: Harness AI, emerging technology and their intersections to tap opportunities and reduce catastrophic nuclear and biological risks.
- Critical Mass Project: Creatively engaging audiences, creating advocates, and building public support to eliminate nuclear weapons risks.
Responsibilities for Scoville Fellows may include original research, contributing to reports, publishing blog posts, leading internal discussion groups, presenting a brown bag session, or supporting varied programmatic activities.
NTI builds a safer world through innovation, cooperation, and action. As a Scoville Fellow at NTI, you will be a part of a team delivering real-world solutions to today’s most urgent security threats.
