Message from Dean Jean Robinson of the College of Arts and Sciences:
Please urge your best graduating seniors who have a strong interest in international affairs to apply for the 2009-2010 Junior Fellows Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Students who graduated within the last academic year, but who have not begun graduate studies are also eligible for consideration. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States. As one of the world’s leading think tanks specializing in international affairs, the Endowment conducts programs of research, discussion, publication, and education.
Junior Fellows have the opportunity to work at the Endowment in Washington, DC for the period of one year and provide research assistance to scholars working on Carnegie Endowment’s projects in the areas of: non-proliferation, democracy building, Middle East political reform, energy and climate change, economics, international security, South Asian politics, China-related issues, and Russian and Eurasian affairs.
IU-Bloomington is allowed to nominate two outstanding candidates to the national competition. Students who wish to be considered for this national competition are chosen via an internal competition and then the applications of successful candidates are forwarded to the Endowment. The Carnegie Endowment does not accept direct student applications for this award. Nominees for this competition should be graduating seniors or students who have graduated within the past academic year, but who have not begun graduate studies. If they are selected, candidates must be available to work for one year beginning August 2, 2010. Junior Fellows currently receive an annual salary of approximately $35,000 in addition to a full benefits package.
Students must first register with and pick up important application information in Kirkwood Hall 012 from Terri Greenslade, Assistant Dean for Academic Standards and Opportunities in the College of Arts and Sciences, and should call 855-8245 to arrange a time to do so. The deadline for submission of all materials for the internal competition is: Friday, December 4, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. Complete application packets should be delivered to Kirkwood Hall 012. The College’s internal selection committee will meet in early January, after Fall 2009 grades are official.
