TIMEP Nonresident Fellowship Cohort 2024-2025

TIMEP’s Nonresident Fellowship Program carves out a space for and invests in individuals whose work advances the transparent, accountable, and just societies that TIMEP is committed to fostering.

The 2024-2025 cohort will be made up of eight to twelve advocates, researchers, journalists, lawyers, and defenders based in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region or with significant ties to it.

Areas of Interest

• In 2024, TIMEP is looking to recruit fellows to work within the following issue areas:
  • Digital & Cyberspace
  • Energy & Environment
  • Development & Economy
  • Law & Accountability
  • Governance & Politics
  • Social Movements
  • Gender & Sexuality
  • Religious & Ethnic Minorities
  • Migration & Displacement
  • Arts & Culture
  • Media & Press
  • Security & Conflict

Benefits

• Have the opportunity to produce solutions-oriented and policy-relevant programming and analysis that reflects priorities and developments on-the-ground within a mandate of their choosing;
• Access targeted and personalized skills-building opportunities;
• Collaborate and exchange with like-minded individuals from across the region and across theme as part of a fellowship cohort;
• Be integrated into TIMEP’s global and regional network of organizations, advocates, and policymakers; and
• Drive the discourse through media, policy, and event opportunities.

Scope

• The fellowship term will have a duration of 12 months, beginning in mid-May 2024. The position is a nonresident one. This opportunity is not an academic or scholarly research fellowship. The fellow will receive a stipend commensurate with experience. While nonresident fellows are not employed or compensated in a full-time capacity, they are considered key TIMEP members and are well-integrated into the team. A typical nonresident fellowship workload involves ~15 hours per month.

Eligibility Criteria

• At least five years of relevant work or academic experience in a field related to the proposed area of focus.
• A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English and Arabic.
• Demonstrated commitment to TIMEP’s mission and principles.
• Connectivity to civil society, grassroots groups, and/or experts and advocates on-the-ground.
• TIMEP’s mission places great importance on the value of bringing localized perspectives to policy discussions; thus, preference will be given to those living or working in the region.
