Carnegie Council and HFG Announce Scott D. Sagan as Inaugural Nuclear Ethics Fellow September 15 The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, in partnership with The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, have announced the appointment of Scott D. Sagan as the inaugural Harry Frank Guggenheim Fellow for Nuclear Ethics and Security. Sagan is the Caroline S.G. Munro Professor of Political Science, Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University. “More than three decades since the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear conflict once again looms,” said Daniel F. Wilhelm, president of The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation. “The need for informed, ethical research and thought leadership remains not only necessary, but imperative amid increasing global nuclearization, weakened institutional constraints, and public apathy.” As a nonresident fellow, Sagan will develop a new research, community building, and education initiative focusing on the ethical choices that arise in today’s increasingly nuclearized world.

Carnegie Council and HFG Launch Nuclear Ethics and Security Fellowship June 8, 2026 Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is launching the inaugural Harry Frank Guggenheim Nuclear Ethics and Security Fellowship. Eighty years after the beginning of the Cold War, the world again finds itself in a dangerous international nuclear environment. Despite decades of scholarship and diplomacy, nuclear capabilities continue to grow around the world at a time when historic, institutional restraints have weakened. Accordingly, the threat of a mass causality nuclear event lingers every day. In 2025, Carnegie Council, in partnership with HFG, brought together researchers, practitioners, journalists, and religious leaders, to discuss “nuclear complacency” as a pressing threat to global stability. The findings of this convening were published in “Nuclear Complacency: A Report from the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs and The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation.” Now, Carnegie Council is seeking a part-time, non-resident nuclear ethics and security fellow who will spend 12 months building on this work by leading an active research and education agenda addressing the decline of extended deterrence. They will do so through publications, policy engagement, convenings, and education of emerging leaders. The fellow will be expected to focus on the ethical choices presented by a more nuclearized world. The deadline to submit a research proposal is 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 12, 2026.
