Spring 2023 Marcellus Policy Fellowship Opportunity

The John Quincy Adams Society has developed the Marcellus Policy Fellowship to help the next generation of U.S. foreign policy leaders follow in young JQA’s footsteps. By combining knowledge of foreign policy, the craft of effective policy writing, and the ability to publicize his ideas, Adams launched a career shaping U.S. statecraft. The Marcellus Policy Fellowship does the same, helping our fellows develop the ideas and skills necessary to guide American foreign policy in the twenty-first century.

Over the course of several months, Marcellus Policy Fellows wrestle with ideas that can animate a prudent, restrained foreign policy in line with our vision. They hone their writing skills under expert guidance, crafting a detailed policy paper and a related policy memorandum and op-ed. All this strengthens their candidacy for roles in an increasingly competitive foreign policy career space.

 

The Society selects 8-12 Fellows for each of two cohorts a year. The Fellowship is open to current graduate and undergraduate students, as well as those with 0-2 years of employment in the foreign policy space. The Fellowship is for those who are in, are pursuing, or intend to pursue in the near future a career shaping U.S. national security policy in fields like government service, the media, academia, think tanks, advocacy, and so forth. U.S. citizenship is not required. 

Fellows receive a $750 stipend. Sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7-8 PM ET via Zoom.

 

Applications for the Spring 2023 cohort are open until January 8. If you have any questions about the Fellowship, contact A.J. Manuzzi at aj.manuzzi@jqas.org.
