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.
