visiting scholars in the field of arms

control, nonproliferation, and

disarmament shall be established by the

Director in order to obtain the services

of scholars from the faculties of

recognized institutions of higher

purpose of the program will be to give

specialists in the physical sciences and

Agency’s activities an opportunity for

active participation in the arms control,

nonproliferation, and disarmament

activities of the Agency and to gain for

the Agency the perspective and

expertise such persons can offer * * *.’’

Scholars are known as William C. Foster

Fellows, in honor of the first Director of

ACDA, who served from 1961 to 1969.

Assignments are available in the

Bureaus of Strategic and Eurasian

Affairs (SEA); Multilateral Affairs (MA);

Intelligence, Verification and

Information Management (IVI); and

Control (NP). Visiting scholars

participate in a wide range of Agency

activities, such as performing arms

control research and analyses,

evaluating data relating to compliance

with treaties in force, supporting

interagency development of arms

control policy, and taking part in

international arms control and

disarmament negotiations.

Visiting scholars will be detailed to

ACDA by their universities for one full

year. The institutions will be

compensated for the scholar’s salaries

and benefits in accordance with the

Intergovernmental Personnel Act of

1970 and within Agency budgetary

limitations. Each Fellow will receive

reimbursement for travel to and from

the Washington, DC area for his/her one

year assignment and either a per diem

allowance during the one year detail or

relocation costs.

Qualified candidates must be citizens

of the United States, on the faculty of a

learning, and tenured or on a tenure

track.
