JOB OPPORTUNITIES & TA POSITIONS

IfFRA Fellowship Program

IfRFA’s mission is to provide financial support and career opportunities to people from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in First Amendment law. The primary way that we do that is through our fellowship program, which funds law students to spend a summer diving into the nitty-gritty of freedom of expression work.

We are particularly interested in supporting students of color, queer and trans students, and students with disabilities. Within those categories, we prioritize funding students who are at the intersection of multiple axes of marginalization, and students who may find it difficult to obtain summer public interest funding without IfRFA.

We will be accepting applications from December 2, 2021 – January 10, 2022. All applications will be reviewed after January 10th, so take your time to recover from finals! The application questions can be found here. The link to the application is here. Any questions? Reach out to jkaur@law.harvard.edu.
