Dr Jana Baldus is Policy Fellow at the European Leadership Network (ELN). She is also an associated researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF).
Before joining ELN in 2024, Jana was a researcher in the research department “International Security” at PRIF. In 2024, she completed her PhD at the University of Frankfurt, Germany, focusing on polarisation within the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Regime and normative conflicts between the NPT and the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). In the context of her PhD, she also worked in the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin in the department for nuclear disarmament and arms control.
Jana’s research interests include processes of multilateral nuclear disarmament and arms control, in particular in the context of NPT and TPNW; nuclear (in)justice and processes of coming to terms with nuclear legacies; the implementation of feminist foreign policy in nuclear arms control and disarmament; as well as the implications of emerging technologies for nuclear weapons policy and arms control.
