Paid Remote Internship : Apply for the Fund for Peace Summer Internship programme for students and recent graduates

Do you have an interest in conflict, early warning, peace building, security, and human rights? The Fund for Peace offers full-time and part-time remote internships for graduates and undergraduates with significant, relevant experience during the spring, summer, and fall.

Interns at FFP are given significant responsibility, exposure to cutting-edge research, opportunities to conduct and manage their own research, and access to experts in the international relations field. Successful interns emerge from the program well-prepared for roles in governments, multilateral organizations, non-profits, think tanks, foundations, international corporations, and non-governmental organizations.

What kind of responsibilities do Interns have?

Intern responsibilities can include:

  • Conflict analysis
  • Data coding and analysis
  • Research, writing, editing, note taking, and proofreading
  • Writing articles, reports, and blog posts
  • Monitoring and updating essential country-specific data
  • Monitoring and updating social media
  • Providing support to The Fund for Peace’s public events
  • Attending conferences and roundtables on behalf of The Fund for Peace

FFP is able to accommodate both full-time and part-time interns (depending on semester). Interns work 35 hours per week at minimum. Normal hours are 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, although we can be flexible about scheduling where necessary.

Also, the FFP internship program is specifically flexible in regards to class schedules. Plenty of interns will combine a part-time internship with a normal class schedule.

What is the timeline for the Fall Internship application process?

  • Thursday, February 15th - Position posted, applications open
  • Friday, March 15th - Application deadline (no applications will be accepted after 11:59pm ET)
  • Monday, April 15th - Final day of interview notifications

Application Procedure
Please submit your CV/resume, cover letter, the names of three referees/three references, and your availability and intended hours (part-time or full-time) via Idealist. If you have any questions or issues, please email us at admin@fundforpeace.org. Please note that applications submitted anywhere other than through Idealist will not be considered. Be sure to include the following criteria in your application materials:

Applicants MUST detail their intended period of interning with us (e.g., June through August)
Applicants MUST detail whether they intend to work full-time or part-time (and if so, what the intended working hours would be).
In your cover letter, be sure to explain your interest in and enthusiasm for The Fund for Peace, as often an applicant's enthusiasm for the organization and our programs will give applicants an edge.
We may require writing samples, though only from applicants who are subsequently invited for an interview.

Be advised that The Fund for Peace receives many applications each semester for only a handful of positions. Because we do not have a dedicated personnel department, we ONLY contact those applicants who have been selected for an interview.

If you have been selected for an interview, we will contact you approximately 3-4 weeks after the deadline for applications. Due to the volume of applications, it is wise to apply early.
