The Algrant Intern will focus on substantive research relating to migrant and asylum-seeking children in Greece.

This internship pays a stipend of US$4,500 for 10 weeks. Students may be able to arrange academic credit, as Human Rights Watch internships often offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by staff, and opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, and special events relating to human rights. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements. This internship is open to law students, law graduates, and graduate students with knowledge of international human rights law, refugee law, children's rights, public policy or other relevant fields of study. Applicants should be well-organized, self-motivated, and reliable, with a strong interest in international human rights issues. Strong writing skills in English as well as written and oral flueny in Greek are essential. Relevant coursework is highly desirable, and knowledge of one or more additional languages is a plus. Computer skills (i.e., Microsoft Office, Internet applications) are required. Please apply by emailing a letter of interest, resume, names or letters of reference, and a brief, unedited writing sample to the CRD Associate at crd@hrw.org. Please use "Roland Algrant Summer Internship 2008" as the subject of your email. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2008. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
