Fellowship

Fellowship Positions – Tokyo, New York, Bangkok

Human Rights Now (HRN), an international human rights NGO based in Tokyo with UN consultative status, is currently taking applications for fellows in human rights advocacy and management.

Our fellowship program allows law school graduates or the equivalent interested in human rights, public policy, and international affairs a chance to gain experience working directly on human rights issues at an influential international human rights NGO. Fellowships provide an excellent opportunity for fellows to engage in research, on-site investigations, and observations of UN conferences and meetings. Persons who have strong legal backgrounds or experience with research or human rights work are highly encouraged to apply.

We accept applications for fellows at Tokyo throughout the year. For the Bangkok fellowship, please refer to the posted deadline.

You can find out more about Human Rights Now and the kind of work we do from our website. Please review the site to understand our mission before applying.
