Application deadline: 15 October 2012
INTERIGHTS is pleased to invite applications for a six-month funded internship for a lawyer or academic with experience working on human rights in Europe.
The precise nature of internship activities will depend on organisational and programme
priorities at the time of the placement; however, it is likely that the main areas in which
experience will be offered will include:
- Legal research on international and comparative human rights law and practice to support the preparation of legal submissions in cases to be lodged with or pending before the European Court of Human Rights, as well as other legal work depending on INTERIGHTS’ needs at the time
- Preparation of materials for INTERIGHTS’ training workshops
- Assistance on INTERIGHTS’ publications
- Where possible, attendance at meetings with human rights practitioners, lectures, or visits to other international/national human rights organisations based in London
The six-month internship will begin on 2 January 2013 and will be based in London. INTERIGHTS will arrange and pay for travel. The intern will receive a monthly grant of £1,300. Accommodation is not provided but INTERIGHTS can advise on finding a suitable place to stay.
