The International Center for Terrorism and Transnational Crime (UTSAM) DOCTORAL/POST-DOCTORAL RESIDENCY FELLOWSHIPSDEADLINE: Open CallDOCTORAL RESIDENCY FELLOWSHIPThe International Center for Terrorism and Transnational Crime (UTSAM - www.utsam.org ) was established in 2006 under the Department of Research Centers of the Turkish National Police Academy.With its highly qualified and specialized team of researchers, UTSAM merges theory with practice and generates information particularly for policy-makers, decision-makers and practitioners in various fields of security such as terrorism, transnational crime, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, drug trafficking, organized crime and cybercrimes.&#160;Within this mainframe, UTSAM has improved cooperation with national and international research centers and security actors and organized several seminars, workshops, conferences and symposia.

The main goal of the UTSAM is to encourage research on security in a comparative perspective.&#160;UTSAM provides to the fellows affiliation, working space, and other resources of the Turkish National Police Academy while conducting their research in Ankara.
