Human rights fellowships


Deadline:


06/10/11
Recent graduates in journalism, international relations or law at the master's level or beyond are eligible for two human rights fellowship programs.
Human Rights Watch presents the Alan R. and Barbara D. Finberg Fellowship and the Arthur Koenig Fellowship. Fellows will work with HRW for one year monitoring human rights developments worldwide, conducting on-site investigations, drafting reports, media outreach and more.
Fellowships begin September 2012 and offer a US$55,000 salary with benefits.
Ideal candidates possess a strong background in human rights with an intent to pursue a career in the field. Requirements include research and field experience, analytic skills and English fluency. Proficiency in a second language is a plus.
Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, two recommendation letters, an unpublished writing sample and a graduate school transcript.
The Koenig fellowship specifically targets students from disadvantaged economic backgrounds and applicants must submit an essay describing their financial need.
