INCORE Internships
are aimed at graduate students, recent graduates or young professionals
with some exposure to and demonstrated interest in peace & conflict-related
work or study. Applicants should have a minimum 2.1 
Hons degree or
equivalent, be enrolled in or be a recent graduate of a postgraduate
programme focused on peace and conflict issues, and demonstrate a desire
to forge a career in similar work. INCORE accepts internship
applications from a variety of disciplines - our work involves examining peace and
conflict issues based on political, social scientific, media, gender,
psychological, educational and legal contexts.
The relationship
between INCORE and the intern is mutually-beneficial. Interns are assigned
to a unit or project within INCORE according to INCORE’s needs
and the interns own areas of interest and expertise.
INCORE aims to provide the intern with increased understanding of contemporary
peace and conflict issues and research; to provide increased understanding
of and insight into to workings of an organization working in these areas;
to allow the intern participate in INCORE activities to the greatest
extent possible
INCORE recognizes the benefit it receives from the assistance of outstanding
young students/graduates/professionals.
Interns are assigned to a supervisor who is responsible for providing
them with a job description and workplan. An intern should not spend
any more than 40% of their time on administrative or clerical duties
unless the internship is oriented in this way.
Internships generally
last from 3-6 months. There is scope for shorter and longer placements – the
duration of which can be negotiated depending on the requirements and
means of both INCORE and the applicant.
Please note
that all INCORE internships are unpaid and that we usually recruit
between 4-6 interns per annum.
Generally interns work one of four time periods;
January - April
April - July
June/July - September/October
September - December
