About IPAN:
IPAN Internship Program is an intensive, highly selective, unpaid, non-resident program for mentoring and training interested young students in the areas of public policy research. The objective of this program is to provide students and early-career researchers with a pre-professional, meaningful and practical work experience related to the student’s field of study or career interest. IPAN Internships provide an opportunity for career exploration and development as well as a chance to learn new skills. Interns may work independently or with the IPAN teams in our research areas. This is an excellent opportunity for those students who are planning for a career or further studies in international relations, public policy, law, think tanks or international organizations.
A Non-Resident Internship:
IPAN Research Interns are able to undertake their work from their respective locations. It has purposefully been designed to be a non-resident program for the students to be able to work with IPAN on a part-time basis whereas their university classes/job compulsions will prevent them from undertaking a resident program.
Stipend:
The internship is unpaid.
