Junior Research Fellowships, The Society of Fellows, Harvard University, USA

/ May 5, 2011 Leave a Comment

Candidates are nominated for Junior Fellowships, generally by those under whom they have studied. Applications are not accepted from the candidates themselves. A letter of nomination should include an assessment of the candidate’s work and promise, complete contact information for the candidate, including current residential addresss and email address, and the names, mailing addresses, and email addresses of three additional people who agree to write letters of recommendation by the end of September at the latest. Men and women interested in any field of study are eligible for these fellowships. Nominees should be of the highest calibre of intellectual achievement, i.e. comparable to the most successful candidates for junior faculty positions at leading universities.

Please note: If still pursuing the Ph.D., Junior Fellows should be at the dissertation stage of their theses and be prepared to finish their degrees within a year of becoming fellows. If already a recipient of the degree, they should not be much more than a year past the Ph.D. at the time the fellowship commences. Most Junior Fellows receive the Ph.D. just prior to the start of the fellowship.

Scholarship Application Deadline:September 2, 2011.

Undergraduate Human Rights Fellowships, USA

/ May 4, 2011 Leave a Comment

In partnership with the Program on Human Rights, we are proud to offer summer Human Rights Fellowships. These fellowships are intended to enable students to make a valuable contribution to human rights theory and practice. Offered to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, grants will be given to four undergraduates who will partner with human rights organizations, government agencies, NGOs, or international organizations (either here or abroad). It is our hope that these fellowships will encourage students to build human rights work into their future careers, whether those careers are in academic life, in governmental or intergovernmental organizations, as activists, or as legal practitioners.that Human Rights Fellowships will not be offered for the summer of 2011 but will again be offered for summer 2012. That said, during the course of 2010-2011, we will hold a number of info sessions to describe in detail the types of fellowships we will be supporting in 2012, what makes a good proposal, required courses/readings, and expected faculty/mentor relationships. If you would like to be put on a mailing list so you are notified of these sessions, please email Joan Berry. That said, there are a number of steps that you must take to prepare yourself to be competitive for the fellowship. Please review the FAQs and the timeline (links below) to make sure you are aware of the requirements and can plan accordingly.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications for summer 2012 fellowships will be due on January 31, 2012 (with a preliminary proposal submitted by Oct 31, 2011).
