Please ensure that your materials are in PDF format and follow the parameters and guidelines detailed below:
- Detailed curriculum vitae
- Personal statement (must include a section on how your residency will align and support our lines of work and ongoing projects)
- Two letters of recommendation
- Research proposal with one page abstract
- Statement(s) of funding
- Recent publication in English
Curriculum Vitae
The curriculum vitae of applicants must contain complete information on academic institutions, honors, awards, all publications to date, and all professional experience in academic and practitioner circles (current and previous, including dates of employment and job descriptions).
Personal Statement
The personal statement is limited to 500 words. The applicant should respond to the following questions:
- How would your research address some of the current existential challenges to human rights and to the revitalization of the field?
- How would your research align with the Center’s lines of work and ongoing projects? Feel free to call out specific projects or programs at CHRGJ.
Letters of Recommendation
The two letters of recommendation should be from academics or human rights practitioners who can speak authoritatively about the applicant’s abilities, specifically as they relate to the applicant’s research proposal.
Research Proposal
We require a detailed research proposal that describes the research questions, the methodology to be utilized, the expected results of the work, and the projected contribution to the field of inquiry. The research proposal should be preceded by a one-page abstract, if appropriate. The title of the proposal should indicate fully the nature of the research project.
Statement(s) of Funding
We require all applicants to provide documentation from sponsoring organizations detailing the amount and terms of all monies granted during their residency at NYU. Employed applicants must submit documentation from the employer attesting to the support they will receive while on sabbatical. Applicants who will be completely self-funded and not reliant on external funds (i.e. able to support themselves from personal funds without receiving any financial support from NYU, a sponsoring organization, or an employer) must submit a statement attesting to that fact.
Recent Publication
Please include one recent publication (English required, additional language welcomed).
