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 email the following
documents to Shawna Korosi,
, the HSRP’s Human Resources Manager:
- A cover letter explaining your interest in the
HSRP, discussing your particular research interests, and stating when you would
like to begin your internship;
- A current resume;
- Copies
of university transcript(s); and
- 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.
Other internship opportunities
The HSRP is interested in serving as a host organization for Security and Defence Forum (SDF) internships. The Department of National Defence's SDF Internship Program is
intended to promote relevant work experience opportunities for recent MA
graduates with a background in security and defence.
Proposals
should demonstrate how the applicant’s research interests match both the
priorities identified by the SDF and those of the HSRP.
SDF
Internships are valued up to $35,000 over twelve months, pro-rated for
shorter periods of time.
For full details about this program, including eligibility requirements, please visit the official SDF Internship Program website.
Those interested in applying for an SDF
internship are invited to contact the HSRP with a brief proposal
outlining their academic and work experience, research interests, and the
desired area of research. Copies of transcript(s) and a writing sample
should also be provided. Please note that applicants must obtain proof
of agreement from the HSRP before submitting their application to the
SDF coordinator.
