He is also a professor at the University of Southern California and a visiting senior fellow at the Swedish Defence University.
From 2007 to 2014,Treverton was a Senior Fellow,Stockholm,Sweden. [1] Between 2000 and 2014,he served at the Rand Corporation as the Director for the Center for Global Risk and Security (2009-2014),Director of Intelligence Policy Center (2004-2005),and a senior researcher (2000-2009) at the Rand Corporation. [2] From 1998 to 2000 he served at the Pacific Council on International Policy,as president and before Vice President and Director of Studies. [3] He is currently a member of the Advisory Board at the Oxford Analytica, [4]
Treverton graduated summa cum laude with an A.B. from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in 1969 after completing a 181-page-long senior thesis titled "Politics and Petroleum:The International Petroleum Company in Peru." [5]
He received an M.P.P. from the John F.

Treverton was one of the 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who signed the October 19,2020,letter that said the Hunter Biden laptop story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." [8] While the letter did not claim the laptop itself contained Russian disinformation,and admitted no specific evidence of the operation existed [9] ,later evidence verified some content as authentic,and there was no evidence of Russian disinformation on the laptop. [10]
In 2021,Treverton was implicated in a dispute with Oxford University Press and a former graduate student regarding his 2015 book National Intelligence and Science: Beyond the Great Divide in Analysis and Policy (Oxford University Press) found he had plagiarized a substantial portion of a chapter in his book from white papers by the graduate student,who was eventually named a co-author of the chapter.
