Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace Senior Fellowship
The United States Institute of Peace invites applications for Senior Fellowships in its Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace. These fellowships support practitioners and scholars working on research projects concerning the sources and nature of international conflict and ways of preventing, managing, or resolving conflict.
USIP awards approximately 12 fellowships per year. Priority is given to proposals that promise to make a timely contribution to the understanding and resolution of ongoing and emerging international conflicts. USIP is especially interested in proposals addressing problems of the Muslim world, post-war reconstruction and peacebuilding and stability operations in Iraq and elsewhere, and responses to terrorism and political violence. However, proposals in all fields are welcome. Fellowships are open to citizens of any country.
Senior Fellows play an important role in helping to advance understanding on issues related to the prevention, management, and resolution of international conflicts.
The deadline for the 2008-2009 Senior Fellowship program is Monday, September 17, 2007.
Selection Process
Senior fellows are selected through a rigorous annual competition, for which the selection process begins each September and ends the following March. Senior fellows are selected by the USIP's Board of Directors through a process designed to identify balanced and objective projects of the highest quality. Fellowships are open to citizens of any country.
Location
Fellows carry out their projects in residence at USIP in Washington, D.C. They participate in USIP's public outreach efforts offering timely information to Congress, policymakers, and the public on international issues. Books and reports resulting from fellowships may be published by USIP.
Duration
Fellowships are usually awarded for 10 months beginning in October. Shorter term residencies are also available.
Stipend
The program attempts to match the recipient's earned income during the year preceding the fellowship, up to a maximum of $80,000 for 10 months. The award covers health insurance premiums (80%), travel to and from Washington for fellows and dependents, and half-time research assistants.
