About the Program

The Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program (IC Postdoc Program) was established in 2000 to support unclassified basic research in areas of interest to the IC. Funded primarily by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the program annually supports several postdoctoral fellows from U.S. accredited colleges, universities, and U.S. government laboratories across the country.

In collaboration with research advisors, postdocs develop and submit technical research proposals that align with research opportunities proposed by the IC. The research is conducted by the postdocs while working in partnership with the research advisor, and collaborating with an advisor from the Intelligence Community.

Postdoc Eligibility

  • U.S. citizenship required
  • Ph.D. in a relevant field must be completed before beginning the appointment and within five years of the appointment start date
