Carnegie Junior Fellows Program
Each year the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace holds a rigorous national competition to select 10--12 graduating seniors to serve as research assistants on Carnegie Endowment projects---- the Junior Fellows Program. Students are matched with senior associates----academics, former government officials, lawyers, and journalists from around the world----to work on a variety of issues related to international affairs. For those seniors who are interested in policy work, this is a great opportunity for a paid year-long internship in Washington, D.C. This is the first year IPFW students are eligible to apply for this fellowship.
To apply for the IPFW internal competition, students must register with and pick up application materials from Ann Livschiz, Honors Program director, in Liberal Arts Building, Room 275 or Helmke Library, Room 207. Those interested in applying should contact Livschiz (livschia@ipfw.edu) as soon as possible and set up an appointment. The deadline for submission is Friday, December 19, at 5 p.m. Complete details here
