We support a number of doctoral scholars at Oxford, including Leanne Iorio, Giles Moon, Issy Sandhoe, Matt Laird, Chris Park, and Tsur West. Dr Mark Hull will also join us in 2025. Although all doctoral programmes and applications are determined by the University of Oxford, we encourage scholars, espcially early career researchers, in particular fields, including: nuclear arms and deterrence; space, cyber, & electromagnetic warfare; uncrewed autonomous systems (‘drones’) and precision armaments; artificial intelligence applications in armed conflict; intelligence, surveillance, & reconnaissance; multi-domain operations & doctrine development; and defence capability strategy, development, & management.
