Overview
Interns at the AHRC or its sister organisation the ALRC typically support a country or programme desk through case documentation, research and communication assistance. The AHRC approaches its partner organisations in Asia with which it has a close and long term working relationship and discusses the selection of interns from those organisations.
Details
The available internship placements are normally limited to one internship per country per year at this point. Internships for persons from the partner organisations are given priority. For these persons, the AHRC provides accommodation and support while in Hong Kong. Arrangements for the duration of stay are flexible, but usually the period is 3-4 months.
Other persons interested in an internship with the AHRC may also apply under the following conditions. The applicant should stay for a minimum period of six months. The AHRC does not provide any financial support or accommodation for these persons.
Applications are judged on their individual merits and according to the needs of the AHRC at the time. Interns must also be prepared to accept assignments to countries in the region with difficult human rights conditions. The number of such self-supported internships are limited to a very few placements per year. We receive many more applications than we can accept and we may not be able to respond to all applications.
An application for a self-supported internships should:
- include full personal details
- explain the interest in human rights and Asia, the educational and professional background
- state for which period the internship is intended: January 1 - June 30, July 1 - December 31, or other periods, please mention your flexibility with the provided dates
- explain by what means the internship can be financially supported by the applicant or other institutions
- be submitted at least 4 months before the beginning of the internship
Additionally, the AHRC welcomes short-term researchers (for less than one month) at any time, at its discretion. Short-term researchers must have a specific research question and intended result from their time in Hong Kong that has been approved in advance by the AHRC and that has a demonstrated connection both to their own area of professional activity or interest and that of the AHRC
