IPRT Internship Programme

IPRT offers internship and summer placement opportunities to students and practitioners interested in, and wanting to contribute to, the work of the organisation.

We are committed to offering internship opportunities throughout the year to support our research and policy, as well as communications and campaigns activities.

Internships with IPRT are offered on a short- to medium-term basis (3 – 6 months). Shorter placements may also be offered in some circumstances, for instance where a placement can be linked to a specific project within IPRT. We also offer summer placements for one month only in July/August.

The deadline for applications for internships starting 1st February 2010 has now passed. Information on the next round of internships will be available from end March 2010.

There are two positions available:

• Campaigns & Communications Intern (applications from candidates with fundraising experience are welcome.)
• Research & Policy Intern

Information for current applicants, whose applications were received before the deadline:

• Notification of interviews: 8th December
• Interviews (in Dublin): 14th December
• Successful applicants will be informed on 17th December 2009.

Internships are unpaid, and it is important to note that IPRT will not be in a position to contribute to interns’ costs of living or accommodation in Dublin. Due to the limitations on staff time and office facilities, we are only able to offer two placements at any given time.
