Junior Fellow Program

The Program

OSI’s Junior Fellow Program is for active-minded young intellectuals who have a basic understanding of Objectivism and want to develop a career advancing and applying philosophy for freedom and flourishing.

  • This is a remote program conducted via Slack, Zoom, and related platforms.
  • Junior Fellows work directly with OSI intellectuals to develop professional-level competence in philosophic thinking, communication, and producing publishable work.
  • Junior Fellowships run quarterly and can be renewed or transitioned to a full-time fellowship at OSI, depending on the quality of your work and your rate of improvement.
  • Junior Fellows are paid $18 per hour for up to eight hours of work per week.
