The 2010-2011 Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Fellowship Program at the Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government has two opportunities available under its Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship.
The Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship is a stipendiary fellowship. In addition to the stipend, fellows are provided with office space, computers with LAN and Internet connections, and access to Harvard University libraries and other facilities. Unfortunately, the Center cannot assist in efforts to secure outside funding; therefore we strongly encourage applicants who will require additional funding to apply for those funds simultaneously with the Tueni Fellowship application process.
Candidates will be selected from a pool of English speaking scholars, journalists, writers, human rights activists or social scientists, from any ethnic or religious denominations, who have shown a demonstrated commitment to human rights and social cohesion in the Middle-East. Preference will be given to candidates who are human rights practitioners from Lebanon and Iraq. In the event that eligible candidates from Lebanon and Iraq cannot be identified, fellowships may be awarded to candidates from other Middle Eastern countries.
Tueni Fellows will undertake a major research project focusing on the areas of freedom of speech, arbitrary detention or discrimination against minorities, displaced populations or other vulnerable groups in one or more countries in the Middle East region. As with all Carr Center Fellows, Tueni Fellows are expected to contribute to the Center’s programs, and participate in broader dialogue with students, faculty and researchers in the Harvard community. In particular, Fellows will be expected to lead at least two public seminars and be involved in the student community in some capacity, for example, by leading a study group or advising students.
The last date to submit applications is 1 March 2011. For more information, visit :
