Magna Carta welcomes a limited number of interns throughout the year. The internships focus on research in international law or human rights sensu lato. Magna Carta’s interns are an integral part of the research team. They are expected to work on research or training projects, including an individual project, under the supervision of Magna Carta’s faculty directors. Interns are encouraged to attend programs and staff meetings and to take part in the activities of the Institute.

A strong interest in academic research and international law is essential. The ideal candidate will be well-organized, able to work under pressure, and be aware that the scientific work produced by any of Magna Carta’s team members, including interns, must be of the highest quality. Magna Carta is dedicated to academic excellence and its research, training programs and expertise briefs must be of outstanding quality. Interns must have good computer skills and excellent editing skills.

The office’s official working language is French. The candidate is not required to be fluent in French, but must be willing to learn and practice the language. Interns may be required to work in English or Spanish, depending on their field of interest and the nature of their assignment. Interns must be fluent in either French or English.
