Эта программа, как и все программы, рекомендуемые нами на www.chechnyaadvocacy.org/opportunities.htm полностью оплачена и покрывает все расходы (дорогу, жилье, пропитание) участников. Многие из этих программ специально нацелены на привлечение кандидатов из национальных меньшинств и регионов, где идут конфликты или есть социальные проблемы, таких, как Северный Кавказ. И это дает Вам больше шансов. Комиссия, ведущая процесс отбора кандидатов не дискриминирует их на почве национальной принадлежности, пола или религии. Однако процесс отбора тщателен и квалифицированных кандидатов много, и нет гарантии, что Вас, как и любого другого кандидата, выберут или не выберут. Это значит только, что заявление должно быть подготовлено качественно. Поэтому мы очень советуем Вам ознакомиться с указанными ниже программами; связаться с нами (can@chechnyaadvocacy.org ), если у Вас есть вопросы; подать заявление, если Вас интересует конкретная программа; или передать информацию о программах интересующимся сотрудникам, друзьям или родственникам.



CARR CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY 2008-2009 ACTIVIST/PRACTITIONER FELLOWSHIP

Application deadline: March 15, 2008

If you would like to apply, please read the program description below carefully before contacting us at can@chechnyaadvocacy.org!

Eligibility
Each year, the Center seeks a mix of fellows with different backgrounds and experiences. In particular, we seek to have a fellowship program engaging human rights activists and practitioners. Only human rights activists and practitioners working in developing nations are eligible for this fellowship.

Because we seek to draw applicants with a diversity of professional and human rights experiences, the Center will use no single criteria to measure eligibility. We do expect that successful activist/practitioner applicants will:

currently live in a developing nation and work on human rights issues
have at least 5 years of experience in human rights work or of professional experience in a relevant area (public policy, journalism, business, law, military, economic development, etc.)
have an interest in examining and reflecting upon this experience
The Carr Center encourages applications from women, minorities, and citizens of any developing country. Fellows must be able to read, write and speak English fluently.

Expectations
At the Center, fellows will have an opportunity to advance their own professional development by completing works in progress, bridging into new fields or disciplines, and interacting with a community of leading human rights scholars and activists. The networks and contacts developed at the Center often serve as a valuable resource when fellows return home.

Fellows are expected to spend the entire fellowship period in residence at the Center and should have no other significant professional commitments during this time. They are expected to attend all Center fellows colloquia and programs. Activist and practitioner fellows are expected to contribute to the Carr Center and Kennedy School of Government communities throughout their fellowship. More specifically, they may give seminars and lectures on particular topics in human rights about which they have first hand knowledge and/or explore issues and questions raised in their work through discussion and study. They will be expected to present some completed project (policy paper, briefing, etc.) over the course of the fellowship period.

Funding
The Center’s Activist/Practitioner fellowship program provides a stipend of $31,000 for the fellow to use for living expenses in Cambridge . Health insurance and benefits will be provided for the fellow (coverage for dependents can be purchased for an additional cost). While the Center will provide guidance in the fellow’s housing search, housing costs must be paid out of the $31,000 stipend. Activist/Practitioner fellows are also provided with office space, computers with LAN and Internet connections, and access to Harvard University libraries and other facilities.

Application Procedure for Activists/Practitioners
Each applicant should submit in hard copy:

A curriculum vitae.
A 3- to 5- page double-spaced statement that outlines a major research project to be completed during the fellowship and describes its relevance to the Carr research agenda. While the Center welcomes project proposals on any human rights-related topic, we have a particular interest in proposals on topics related to ongoing research at the Center including: the cusp between victims and actors (such as children in armed conflict, terrorism, and trafficking), the use of force and human rights, genocide prevention, and measurement of human rights. The statement should explain how the project will add to the body of knowledge about human rights policy, outline your qualifications to complete this research, and describe the methods you will use to carry out the project. Please put your name on each page of the statement, entitle it “Academic/Scholar Fellowship Application Statement.”
Materials submitted will not be returned to the applicant. Please provide three hard copies of the application.

Completed applications must be received at the Carr Center by 5:00pm on March 15, 2008. If mailing the application poses a hardship, applicants should email Laura_Bean@ksg.harvard.edu. Applicants bear full responsibility for ensuring that all materials are received by the due date and will not be notified of incomplete applications. The Center will contact finalists regarding submission of supplemental documentation, which will include two letters of reference. Decisions will be announced by April 30, 2008. Resident fellowships will begin September 1, 2008 and end on June 30, 2009.
