Deadline: March 15, 2022

Applications are open for the UN Human Rights Office – Humanitarian Funds Fellowship Program 2022-2023. The Humanitarian Funds run a fellowship program, which aims to give young professionals with experience working for human rights organizations, notably on issues related to contemporary forms of slavery and/ or torture, the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge and skills of these issues within the United Nations system.

Through this program, fellows will gain working-level experience with the United Nations human rights system in the field of slavery and torture, including the evaluation and management of grants. Upon completion of the program, fellows will bring back acquired capacity and skills to their community and/or organization.

Fellows’ Duties

The fellow will contribute to the work of the Humanitarian Funds including through the following:

  • Evaluate and analyse project applications and liaise with applicant organizations to provide technical assistance;
  • Conduct substantive research on and analysis of developments concerning contemporary forms of slavery and torture in specific countries;
  • Review, record and compile information on best practices and lessons learned from grantees of the Funds;
  • Contribute to outreach efforts, and prepare and translate promotional material to increase the visibility of the two Funds (website updates, brochures, social media posts, impact stories, etc.);
  • Help organize and participate in the annual sessions of the Funds’ Boards of Trustees, including public events and policy discussions;
  • Contribute to the work of other parts of the United Nations Human Rights Office as required.

Benefits

  • The fellow will receive financial support from the UN Human Rights Office in the form of a monthly stipend to cover living expenses during the program.
  • A return flight ticket and health insurance will also be provided.
  • The fellow will receive periodic briefings and on-the-job training about the United Nations human rights system and relevant thematic issues.

Eligibility

  • Applicant should have at least two years of professional experience in human rights and/or a related field, with a particular focus on contemporary forms of slavery and/or torture; knowledge of the United Nations system is an asset;
  • Fluency in spoken and written English is required. Knowledge of another United Nations language, in particular Arabic, French or Spanish is an asset;
  • Experience in fundraising, project management and/or forms of direct assistance (including legal, medical, psychological and social services to victims of human rights violations) is also an asset;
  • Qualified candidates working with organizations which received or receive  funding from the Humanitarian Funds, as well as survivors of slavery or torture, are strongly encouraged to apply and will be given priority. Selected candidates are encouraged to share the knowledge and experience obtained during their fellowship with their organization.

Application
