The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU School of Law is currently accepting applications for its full-time summer internship program, which will run for about 10 weeks from June 1 to August 11, 2017.
Interns will work under the guidance of one or more of the Center’s human rights faculty and staff on activities related to the Center’s current projects. The Center houses the work of two UN mandates (Extreme Poverty and Right to Truth, Justice, Reparation, and Guarantees of Non-Recurrence), the Global Justice Clinic, and the Just Security blog. Interns may also be involved in developing new projects relating to: the inter-American system; human rights and the United States, including racial injustice, Islamophobia, treatment of prisoners, and suppression of freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Interns’ work will include legal research, writing, and advocacy support. Interns will be expected to work well independently and as a team, and will be encouraged to engage with CHRGJ staff and visiting scholars as active colleagues. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge of human rights law and practice and/or to pursue a career in public interest and social justice.
The closing date for the application is January 12, 2017 at 5pm.
