Application process
In line with the established criteria, junior fellows are appointed on the basis of an in-depth assessment of their curriculum vitae and the advice of experts indicated by applicants or selected by the Director. The fellows serve in a personal capacity and not as representatives of a Government or any other authority external to UNICRI. The fellows are appointed on a full-time or part-time basis for varying periods of time (renewable), up to a maximum of 10.5 months in any 12-month period. The Institute assists fellows in obtaining the relevant clearances from the Host Country's authorities to allow fellows and their dependants to live in Italy for the duration of their appointment to the Institute.
Junior fellows are persons with a post-graduate degree in criminal law, international law, criminology, or criminal justice who serve in the framework of UNICRI training programme. Junior fellows preferably have previous experience in or with the United Nations and other international or regional organizations. They assist project officers in the implementation of the work programme of the Institute. To this end, they are required to have basic knowledge on issues connected with the specific projects/programmes to which they are assigned.
