Carnegie Junior Fellows Program

 Each year, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace holds a rigorous national competition to select approximately 8-10 graduating seniors to serve as research assistants. They are matched with senior associates- academics, former government officials, lawyers, and journalists from around the world- to work on a variety of international affairs issues. Junior Fellows have the opportunity to conduct research for books, participate in meetings with high-level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and organize briefings attended by scholars, activists, journalists and government officials.

Junior Fellows spend one year (Beginning August 1st) at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, D.C. Positions are full-time and include a salary and benefits package.

2010-2011 Program information is posted here.
