Applications are particularly welcome from Queen Mary students with an interest in international issues and policy development. These are paid internships with a commitment of 10 hours a week, which will start on 30 May 2023 and last eight weeks. The application deadline is 15 May: more information and how to apply.
QMGPI Policy Associates have made a remarkable impact over the last three years, enhancing the University’s reputation through their personal energy, initiative and commitment to the Institute’s research, communications, events and policy agendas.
Highlights experienced by our Associate alumni include:
- Supporting our Global Seminar series, such as Socially Distanced Diplomacy – The Ambassador in the age of COVID.
- Co-authorship of responses to consultations: including The Runnymede Trust report on the implementation of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy consultation on UK international support for the transition to clean energy.
- Research support to Research England-funded projects: including our collaboration with the Centre for European Policy Studies on Criminal Justice, Fundamental Rights and the Rule of Law in the Digital Age and Debt and Sustainability after the Pandemic.
