Purpose: The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace conducts programs of research, discussion, publication, and education in international relations and U.S. foreign policy. The Endowment provides
8-10 Junior Fellowships to recent graduates aiming for careers in international affairs.
Programs Funded: Junior Fellows provide research assistance to Associates working on the Carnegie Endowment’s projects such as non-proliferation, democracy building, international economics, migration and Russian/Eurasian issues. 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 for scholars, activists, journalists and government officials. Some Fellows work on Foreign Policy magazine. The award includes monthly compensation and benefits.
Eligibility: Graduating seniors or individuals who have graduated within the past academic year but who have not yet started graduate studies. There is no restriction as to major, but applicants should have completed a significant amount of coursework in the area of international affairs or economics. U.S. citizenship is not required, however applicants must be eligible to accept employment in this country.
Selection Criteria: While there is no official
GPA minimum, a high level of academic achievement is
expected. Applicants should also be able to produce an
informed and well-crafted essay on one of several set topics
in international relations. Essay topics are changed each
year, and are not necessarily related to areas in which
Junior Fellows will be appointed.
Application/Nomination Process: A select list of colleges and universities, of which Pomona is one, may each nominate up to two candidates per year. Program materials including new essay topics are sent out in mid-October, and internal deadlines are normally
in November, to allow time for advisors to work with
nominees over the winter break since the national
deadline may be before spring classes start. Of thirty
finalists selected for interview,
8-10 become Junior Fellows.
