The Hillary Rodham Clinton Research Fellowship is a one-year program that provides unique opportunities to a recent PhD or master’s level graduate to conduct rigorous, policy-oriented research to address key knowledge gaps in the field of Women, Peace and Security (WPS). Fellows should have working knowledge of the WPS Agenda and related US and international policy frameworks.
The selected fellow will be based at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security in Washington, D.C., and undertake an agreed-upon research program, working together with Institute staff, other fellows, and external partners. Candidates must have a background or demonstrated interest in gender as it relates to International Affairs, particularly in conflict-affected and fragile settings.
Those with knowledge related to the intersection of WPS with the following research priorities are especially encouraged to apply: peacebuilding, peacekeeping, masculinity, conflict-related sexual violence, backlash against gender equality, democratic backsliding, conflict mediation, emerging technology, critical minerals, IHL, development, women’s economic empowerment, and climate security. Please indicate if you have specialized country or regional expertise, or language skills, particularly in countries represented in our WPS Conflict Tracker.
The fellow is expected to author and co-author influential research papers and policy notes that will be published by the Institute. The fellowship will also provide opportunities to present and disseminate research findings at conferences, convenings, and briefings for relevant stakeholders.
To be eligible, applicants must be in the final semester of an advanced degree (PhD or master’s) or have graduated with an advanced degree within the past three years. Preference will be given to Georgetown University alumni.
