Internships

The Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations offers the opportunity for Australians to undertake voluntary internships on a self-funded basis during the March session of the Human Rights Council (previously the Commission for Human Rights).

For the first time, in 2010, the Mission is offering three opportunities throughout the year for internships at the Australian Mission to the United Nations. These internships have also expanded beyond the Human Rights Council, to include attending a session of the Universal Periodic Review.

The Mission seeks people with the skills, education, knowledge and abilities to contribute to advancing Australia's national interests in the UN. Applicants should possess relevant qualifications and background, with preference being given to those who have completed, or are completing, tertiary studies in areas such as political science, international relations, law, human rights, environment or international development. Prior exposure to, or demonstrated knowledge of, the United Nations system is highly desirable.

Applications for internships in 2010 will be open from:

Please note that applications received outside these dates will not be considered.
