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:
- 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.
