Posted by What Is The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy?
The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy serves as the hub of the Harvard Kennedy School’s research, teaching, and training in the human rights domain. The center embraces a dual mission: to educate students and the next generation of leaders from around the world in human rights policy and practice; and to convene and provide policy-relevant knowledge to international organizations, governments, policymakers, and businesses.
The Carr Center welcomes applications from individuals dedicated to advancing the human rights movement through scholarship or practice who are seeking to affiliate for a year as Fellows. Fellows can be post-docs, scholars, academics on sabbatical, human rights defenders, senior leaders in international organizations, or heads of human rights organizations. Our goal is to craft a cohort in which all fellows will find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. The ideal candidates are those who are willing to invest time and energy into building community with the other fellows in their cohort.
Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in and contribute to the Center’s programming, including public lectures, study groups, conferences, workshops, and more. The Carr Center receives a large volume of applicants for all our Fellowship programs. Please do not call or email us with queries for information. Please do not contact individual faculty members or staff directly. Also note that fellowship opportunities are time limited in nature and do not allow for transition to faculty or staff positions. All fellowship nominations by the Carr Center require review by the Dean of Harvard Kennedy School.
