The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a unique global network of policy research centers in Russia, China, Europe,
the Middle East, India, and the United States. Our mission, dating back more than a century, is to advance the cause of peace
through analysis and development of fresh policy ideas and direct engagement and collaboration with decision-makers in
government, business and civil society. Working together, our centers bring the inestimable benefit of multiple national
viewpoints to bilateral, regional and global issues.
The James C. Gaither Junior Fellows Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is designed to provide a
substantive work experience for students who have a serious career interest in the area of international affairs. Approximately
12-14 students will be hired to work as employees at Carnegie in Washington, DC on a full-time basis for a period of one year.
ASSIGNMENTS: Gaither Junior Fellows provide research assistance to scholars working on Carnegie Endowment’s projects,
listed below. They have the opportunity to conduct research, contribute to op-eds, papers, reports, and books, edit documents,
participate in meetings with high-level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and organize briefings attended by
scholars, activists, journalists and government officials.
QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must be nominated by an official of their university or institution who has been designated for
this purpose (usually the career placement officer, fellowship advisor or an academic department chairperson). A listing of
participating institutions and nominating officials may be found at http://carnegieendowment.org/about/jr-fellows.
