USA: Carnegie Junior Fellows Program for U.S. Citizen

Each year 8-10 graduating seniors are selected to serve as research assistants to senior associates-academics, former government officials, lawyers, and journalists from around the world-to work on a variety of international affairs issues at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, DC. Fellows will conduct research for books, participate in meetings with high level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and organize briefings. The fellowship is a year long, full-time position with salary and benefits. The Carnegie Endowment accepts applications only through participating universities via designated nominating officials.

Eligibility requirements:

U.S. citizen
International students attending a university located in the United States. However, all applicants must be eligible to work in the United States for a full 12 months from August 1 through July 31 following graduation. Students on F-1 visas who are eligible to work in the US for the full year (August 1 through July 31) may apply for the program.
Senior
Alumni who have graduated during the last academic year but have not started graduate studies.


Application process: Applicants must apply through Whitman's Nominating Official, and no more than two nominations may be forwarded. Application is sent in hard copy and must be received by the national deadline date.

Application materials:

Application form
Essay (one page/double spaced) explaining why student would like to become a junior fellow.
1-2 page resume
2 recommendations
Transcript, may be unofficial
Essay of no more than 3 typewritten, double-spaced pages responding to one of the Endowment's question most pertinent to the applicant's primary research program interest. The essays are thought pieces, not research papers.
Nominating Official: Keith Raether

National committee interview: Yes, approximately 25 finalists invited to interview.

Selection process: Carnegie is a very competitive fellowship-approximately 5% of applicants are selected for positions. Applications are judged on the quality of the written essay, related academic study and/or work experience, grades, recommendations, and personal interviews. In February approximately 25 finalists are chosen for an interview in Washington, DC. Carnegie will pay travel expenses; interview can also be done by phone. Finalists will be notified of selection/non-selection by April 15th. Year to year the preferred applicant changes-one year could be on the bottom of the pool and the next year, could be on the top.
