My name is Frank Wyer. I am currently a fellow with the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the at the University of San Diego. In fall of 2026 I will join the faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Defense Analysis. Previously, I was a Donald R. Beall Postdoctoral Fellow at NPS. I completed my PhD in Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles in June, 2023.
My research, which is published in International Organization, Conflict Management and Peace Science, and the British Journal of Political Science, explores how governments, civilians, and the international community respond to violent conflict and build peace in fragile states.
This work has been generously funded by a number of organizations, including the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation and the APSA Centennial Center.
I teach courses across multiple subfields, including International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Methods.
