About Internships at INCORE

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
