IPPR and UCL co-fund an annual three-month (six-month part-time) London-based IPPR Internship reserved for a current or recent UCL graduate - as a stepping stone to working in policy or politics. The internship will normally run from October through December, but can take place at any time of the year.

IPPR are looking to start the Amelia Zollner IPPR/UCL Internship in November 2011.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Applicants can come from any country, but must be able to work in the UK (UK/EU nationals or holders of a valid work permit).  
• Applicants should have some research skills, and need to be committed to the aims of IPPR of wanting to build a fairer, more democratic and environmentally sustainable world.
