James C. Gaither Junior Fellows Program

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 15 students will be hired to work as employees at Carnegie in Washington, DC on a full-time basis for 10-12 months. Gaither Junior Fellows provide research assistance to scholars working within Carnegie's programs. 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. The fellowship offers a substantive work experience with comprehensive benefits including a $45,000 annual stipend and full benefits package. Fellows work directly with scholars on critical international issues spanning democracy, international economics, nuclear policy, energy and climate, and regional studies focusing on the Middle East, South Asia, South East Asia, Asia, and Russia/Eurasia.
