The Middle East Forum's Junior Fellowship Program is accepting applications for the Fall 2025 cohort.
This 10-month opportunity is designed for emerging scholars, journalists, and analysts with a strong interest in the Middle East, Islamism, and related topics.
The program aims to foster original, impactful work while providing structured mentorship, professional development, and meaningful networking opportunities. Selected Junior Fellows will join a small, dynamic cohort from September through June, engaging virtually and, when possible, in person.
Application deadline is July 15
We look forward to welcoming a new class of Junior Fellows committed to rigorous analysis and impactful writing on the region’s most pressing issues.
