IR Career Starters - April 2023
We're delighted that Alexander Borum, an Advisor on Political and Security Affairs for the Delegation of the European Union in Somalia, has kindly agreed for us to reproduce his periodical list of internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry-level positions in IR on our website.
With April just around the corner, it is time for the 10th edition of the IR Career Starters newsletter, with fresh new opportunities to consider, whether you are thesis writing, long into your job hunt, or perhaps chasing down an internship for the summer.
It is quite an interesting season, as many of the big Young Professionals Programmes have intakes in this period, and if you have a few years of experience, this might be an excellent chance to really dig into the international affairs domain! I produced an overview of these opportunities a while back, so check it out if you think it's relevant; otherwise, I share these opportunities whenever relevant on LinkedIn, so make sure that you follow and have notifications enabled for my posts; I do not spam, and have a set posting routine for Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If these newsletters remain useful, please pop by and drop a like, tag, comment or share to increase the reach of the newsletter; it is quite hard to reach those who might find this useful without your help!
My thanks,
Alex
