We are interested in your ability to fill the role.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Fellows Need a Specific Number of Years Experience to Be Eligible?<\/h3>\n<p>Applicants should have at least two years of relevant work experience.<\/p>\n<h3>I Want to Take a Break from My Degree Program and Become a Fellow, Should I Apply?<\/h3>\n<p>The explicit goal of the fellowship is to serve as a pipeline for fellows into the ecosystem of public interest technology, and remain in government or the nonprofit sector. To that end, we will not accept applicants taking a break from their undergraduate studies. You are eligible to apply if you are in the middle of a Master\u2019s, PhD or other graduate-level program. However, know that we are looking for those individuals who desire to stay in government or public policy and have the ability to do so.<\/p>\n<h3>I Have a Criminal Record, Can I Apply?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. We believe people with court experience bring a meaningful perspective to this work.<\/p>\n<h3>I&#8217;M a Not a US Citizen, Will You Sponsor My Visa?<\/h3>\n<p>No. We are unable to sponsor visas or work permits. We will consider applicants of any nationality so long as they already have the legal ability to work in the US.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Does the Fellowship Pay?<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the fellow&#8217;s experience, the fellowship pays a salary between $85,000 and $100,000. Other benefits include healthcare, a 403(b) retirement account, moving expenses, and a project and continuing education budget.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Are Fellows Located?<\/h3>\n<p>Fellows are embedded in one of America\u2019s courts, which will be named as soon as the shortlist is finalized in early March. Being place-based allows the fellow to interact with court staff and patrons regularly, giving unparalleled proximity to the justice system.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens If I Have to Move for the Fellowship?<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on where a fellow currently lives, participating in the fellowship may require them to move. The JIF program helps defer moving costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Long Does the Fellowship Last?
