Introduction
The University of Chicago Kimpton Fellows Program helps recent graduates of the College find full-time, employer-paid positions across a wide variety of for-profit industries, not-for-profits, government agencies, research and philanthropic institutions, educational organizations, and social service providers. In order to ensure the success of the Fellows, the Kimpton Program provides mentors to all fellows, and fellows participate in professional development seminars and programming. Over 10% of the University of Chicago’s graduating class applies to be Kimpton Fellows, so the pool of candidates is exceptionally strong.

Financial Commitment
We ask that our partners compensate their Kimpton Fellows at rates comparable to other employees completing similar tasks. Salary levels can change based on job location, sector, and a host other variables. Partner organizations are also encouraged to give fellows time to attend professional development seminars unless work requirements make this unfeasible.
Application Process
To apply, please submit a job description to mpoljak@uchicago.edu. We encourage partner organizations to submit position descriptions early to attract the most qualified candidates. Fellowship positions begin between June and September 2021.
