The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) is accepting applications for its Nonresident Fellowship Program. TIMEP nonresident fellows contribute to TIMEP’s mission to inform international policymakers and influence global policy discussions on developments in the Middle East and North Africa.
