Fellows will work with HRW in New York or Washington monitoring human rights developments worldwide, conducting on-site investigations and media outreach, drafting reports, and more.

The year-long fellowships begin September 2016 and offer a US$55,000 salary with benefits.

Ideal candidates will possess a strong background in human rights and intend to pursue a career in the field. Requirements include research and field experience, analytic skills, and English fluency. Proficiency in a second language is a plus.

Applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, two recommendation letters, an unpublished writing sample, and a graduate school transcript.
