The Carr Center invites individuals dedicated to advancing human rights through scholarship or practice to apply for a year-long fellowship.
Whether you're a post-doc, scholar, academic on sabbatical, human rights defender, senior leader in international organizations, or head of a human rights organization, we want you to be part of a cohort where fellows can form valuable intellectual partnerships to support their work. Ideal candidates actively invest time and energy in building a community with fellow cohort members.
We encourage fellows to actively participate in the Center's programs, such as public lectures, study groups, conferences, workshops, and more.
Due to a high volume of applications, please refrain from contacting us directly. Fellowship opportunities are time-limited and do not lead to faculty or staff positions. All nominations undergo review by the Dean of Harvard Kennedy School.
Applications are now closed for all of the Carr Center's 2024–25 fellowship cohorts. Please check back in Spring 2025 for information on applying for a 2025–26 cohort.
