Internship Opportunities

The Human Security Report Project offers three unpaid internship opportunities per year to hard-working and highly motivated individuals. Interns must be available to work full-time for a minimum of four months. Internships begin in September, January, and May.

Interns at the HSRP are usually enrolled in an accredited university program, or have recently completed a degree. They may be placed within our research, e-resources, or program/administrative section, depending on background and experience and needs of the organization.

Our interns are usually Canadian residents; however, non-residents are welcome to apply. Please note that non-Canadian residents must apply for a visa through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and that acceptance into our internship program does not guarantee a visa.

Those interested in the internship opportunities available with the HSRP should contact us by email and send the following documents:

  1. A cover letter explaining your interest in the HSRP, discussing your particular research interests, and stating when you would like to begin your internship;
  2. A current resume;
  3. Copies of university transcript(s); and
  4. A writing sample (no more than 1000 words).

We encourage interested individuals to apply early. Deadlines for the submission of completed application packages are as follows:

  • 15 October – to start in January
  • 15 February – to start in May
  • 15 June – to start in September

Applicants will be notified of the receipt of their application package. Applicants who are shortlisted will be contacted for an in person or telephone interview.
