Internship Programme
The Human Rights Consortium at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, provides opportunities for students enrolled in a graduate programme to undertake an internship at the School. The objective of the Internship Programme is threefold:
- to provide a framework by which graduate students from diverse academic backgrounds can enhance their educational experience through practical work assignments;
- to expose them to the work of the School and the Human Rights Consortium; and
- to provide the Consortium with the assistance of highly qualified students specialized in various disciplinary fields.
The scheme is open to all students who are interested in working with academics of the School in organising, facilitating and disseminating work undertaken in the human rights fields.
Research Internships
There are also opportunities for Research Interns to work on research for the HRC on ecocide, extreme energy, indigenous peoples and LGBTI rights. If you are particularly interested in an area of research within our projects, please email hrc@sas.ac.uk to let us know. Research Interns will be formally recruited from Spring 2013.
Casual volunteering opportunities for postgraduate students at the School of Advanced Study
The Human Rights Consortium also offers casual, unpaid volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in an area of its work but cannot commit to an internship due to other time commitments. For example, volunteers can propose an event they would like to hold in Senate House and have the administrative support of Consortium staff to bring the idea to fruition. Similarly, social media and website work (including blogging) that can be done from home would be supported by meetings with staff and training if necessary.
