Soref Fellow 2013

Soref Fellow

The Soref fellowship is a one-year research position with full stipend. The fellowship is designed for individuals who have already earned a master's or doctoral degree in U.S. foreign policy or Middle East studies and plan to pursue a career in government, journalism, research, or academia. Soref fellows conduct independent research and acquire first-hand knowledge of U.S. Middle East policymaking. Scholars are asked to contribute written analyses to the Institute's PeaceWatch/PolicyWatch series, while larger research projects may be published as monographs by The Washington Institute.

Application should include professional biography, references, writing sample of scholarly work (e.g., dissertation chapter), policy-writing sample if available (e.g., op-ed), and research proposal. The latter should not exceed 600 words and should highlight both why the topic is of importance to U.S. policymakers, and why the applicant is well qualified to address the topic.
Interested applicants should send a resume and writing sample to:

Dr. Patrick Clawson, Director of Research
pclawson@washingtoninstitute.org
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy
1828 L Street NW, Suite 1050
Washington, DC 20036

No phone calls please.

Decisions are typically made in late spring. Applications submitted by June 1 are much preferred.
