The Endowment offers 8 to 10 one-year paid fellowships to provide research assistance to Associates working on various Carnegie Endowment projects such as democracy building, energy and climate change, international economics, nuclear policy, Middle East studies, South Asian politics, Russian/Eurasian studies and South East Asian studies.
Junior Fellows have the opportunity to conduct research for books, co-author journal articles and policy papers, participate in meetings with high-level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and organize briefings attended by scholars, activists, journalists and government officials.
Who is eligible:

Applicants should have completed a significant amount of course work relating to their proposed field of research. Language and other skills may also be required for certain assignments.
