From defending refugee rights across Australia and the Pacific at UNHCR in Canberra and coordinating ocean-acidification science at the IAEA marine laboratories in Monaco, to human-rights work at OHCHR in Tunis, counter-terrorism at the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism in Madrid, a medical officer role at a tropical agriculture institute in Nigeria, political affairs at UN Headquarters in New York, and a salaried HR Business Partner job at the Council of Europe Development Bank in Paris — this batch of 13 roles spans 13 countries across five continents, almost all of them inside the UN system, international research institutes or the world of European institutions.
Twelve of these are internships and one is a permanent, salaried job — the Council of Europe Development Bank role in Paris (€5,890.95–€6,846.51/month, tax-exempt). Most of the internships are the standard unpaid or stipend-supported placements, but they open doors at organisations most CVs never reach. This is a fast-moving batch: everything closes between 21 and 28 July 2026, so speed matters.
