Global Call for Early-Career Researchers
This skill-enhancement program targets individuals interested in policy research, human rights, governance, international relations, law, and public policy. Selected candidates operate under structured guidance and supervision to develop core analytical writing and policy drafting competencies.
Core Analytical Tasks and Portfolio Building
Participants in the remote program undertake specific tasks designed to build professional research portfolios. The curriculum requires conducting literature reviews on approved policy, legal, human rights, governance, or international relations topics. Researchers also prepare concise research summaries, issue notes, and analytical briefs while participating in online supervision sessions.
Supervised Deliverables and Remote Standards
A primary deliverable of the internship involves drafting a supervised research paper, policy brief, or analytical report. Candidates must revise their written work based on supervisor feedback, adhere to established research standards, and meet strict deadlines within a remote working environment.
Broad Disciplinary Eligibility Criteria

Prospective applicants must demonstrate good written English, an interest in policy research and human rights, and the ability to work independently while meeting established deadlines. Prior research publication experience is not mandatory for acceptance.
The organizing institution maintains specific submission guidelines for interested candidates. Applicants are requested to submit only one application, as submitting multiple entries may result in the cancellation of all submissions by that applicant.
