Deadline: January 5, 2025
Applications are open for the Carr Center Fellowship 2025-2026. The Carr Center welcomes applications from individuals seeking to affiliate for a year as Carr Center Fellows. Fellows can focus on research and writing, auditing classes, meeting faculty and other experts, leading study groups for students, and participating in other learning opportunities at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Fellowships are primarily non-residential; limited shared office space may be available for fellows wishing to be in residence, but this is not guaranteed. Occasional access to shared office space may also be available for those who are visiting the Cambridge/Boston area. All fellowship terms are one academic year (September 1-June 30).
Costs
- Fellows typically have their own funding through their employer or home institution or through an external grant to cover their expenses.
Eligibility
- Fellows can be post-docs, scholars, academics on sabbatical, human rights defenders, senior leaders in international organizations, or heads of human rights organizations.
- They welcome both emerging and established scholars and practitioners whose research and practice are aligned with the Center’s priorities.
Application
Fellowship applications will require:
- Resume/CV
- Research proposal (including how it fits with the Carr Center’s research and programmatic priorities and specific faculty) and your qualifications (up to 3 pages)
- Executive summary of proposal (up to 200 words)
- The contact information for two references who can comment on your ability to complete the proposed research. These individuals may be contacted by the Carr Center and need not submit documentation unless asked.
