Founded in 1910, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a private, nonprofit and nonpartisan organization advancing international cooperation and promoting America’s international involvement. The Carnegie Junior Fellows program is a highly competitive program that draws applicants from more than 300 colleges across the country for a chance to work hand-in-hand with the endowment’s senior researchers.

Junior Fellows take on topics like nonproliferation, democracy-building, trade, U.S. leadership, China-related issues and Russian/Eurasian studies. They contribute to books, journal articles, policy papers and congressional testimony. Fellows also get to sit in on meetings with high-level officials and organize briefings for scholars, activists, journalists and government officials.

January 15th. Individual colleges may have earlier deadlines. Two references are required. Contact your school’s career services office. Carnegie does not accept applications directly from students.
Candidates must be graduating seniors or students who graduated within the past academic year from a university in the fellowship network. Students must be nominated by their university in order to be eligible.
