Junior Fellows Program at Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) and the Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) MA Program at the American University of Beirut

The 9-month Junior Fellows Program supports PPIA MA students who have completed proposals and are working on final projects aligned with IFI's research clusters: Sustainability and Inclusive Development; Regional and International Affairs; Policy, Politics, and Governance. Fellows receive mentorship, workspace, monthly compensation, and participate in seminars and events. Deliverables include policy papers and derivative products, fostering research and policy development.

Applicants must be ongoing PPIA students who have completed coursework and are working on their thesis or final project. They must commit to presence at events and not be fully employed during the fellowship unless resigning beforehand.
