The AHRH welcomes new prospectives on its work and our interns will come from many different backgrounds and disciplines – recent graduates to those wanting a sabbatical. We are looking for hard working, open-minded and collaborative people who want to change the

world.   We will advertise specific opportunities in our teams as they

arise here on the internship page via a network of partner organizations, but we also keep a file of prospective candidates and we welcome ad-hoc enquiries.  If we can’t find a suitable place for applicant straight off you will be added to mailing list and informed of upcoming opportunity as they arise.
