At NABS+, we regularly share opportunities to support, connect and grow our research community in behavioural and social science for security and defence.
Whether you’re an early career researcher, an experienced academic, or a practitioner interested in collaborative projects, you’ll find ways to get involved, from funding calls and research grants to mentoring and training.
Current Opportunities
- Advisory Service: Behavioural Analytics Reference Group. The NABS+ Behavioural Analytics Reference Group provides expert advisory support on applying behavioural analytics to national security and defence research.
More details. - Creative Workshop: A creative half-day workshop using storyboarding and role-play to help you communicate your research in fresh and accessible ways. Participants can also share their work with a wider audience through our online showcase. More details.
- Visiting Fellowships: Our Visiting Fellowships will support cross-fertilisation of knowledge and skills between disciplines and sectors. Fellows will spend time in a UK research lab to engage in research activities that use behavioural data to understand individual, group, and/or population level behaviours as they relate to our broad Challenge Areas. Fellowships can last up to 12 months, and priority is given to early career researchers. More details.
- Early Career Research Working Group (ECRWG): Led by CANSES, the ECRWG connects graduate students and early-career professionals researching violent extremism. The group explores key issues such as research methods, ethics, and researcher safety. ECRWG also fosters connection, collaboration, and peer support among members. More details
The Communities of Interest (CoI) programme brings researchers together around shared topics in targeted violence and terrorism prevention. IAPSS now has three active Communities of Interest, each with its own focus area and opportunities to get involved. More details.
