About the Internships
CHRE Internships cover a variety of thematic topics, primarily in the fields of environmental and human rights. The program offers unique short and long-term opportunities for dynamic and self-motivated individuals to conduct research, fieldwork, training, and participate in other CHRE program-related activities. Internships will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and will be intermittently posted on CHRE’s website as they become available. Internships are generally conducted independently from a location of choice by the intern.
Virtuality
In 2012 CHRE went to a virtual setting, eliminating our permanent office in Cordoba Argentina and greatly reducing our carbon footprint. In 2015 CHRE’s headquarters moved the United States. We now work entirely online and through ad hoc in-person meetings. As an intern you are free to choose your place of residence.
Funding
CHRE does not provide funding for internships. CHRE Interns are expected to secure funding from sponsoring institutions. CHRE will gladly provide recommendation letters for pre-selected candidates.
