CCAMLR International Internships

The CCAMLR Secretariat announces two international internships to be hosted by the Secretariat in 2025. The internships are made possible with funding from the China Contribution Fund.

CCAMLR International Internships on technical and scientific subjects are open for application from any person who is a citizen of a Member of the Commission (see here). Although they are primarily aimed at actively enrolled graduate or postgraduate students, applications from early career professionals may be accepted. The internship aims to provide applicants with an opportunity to gain experience in the work of a multilateral conservation and management organisation as well as acquiring research skills necessary to undertake a professional role in the discipline of interest. Remuneration is not provided, however, return international travel to Hobart and a significant contribution towards living expenses is available.

Each internship will spend approximately 2 months working at the CCAMLR Secretariat on a special topic. This will be arranged by agreement with the Secretariat. Potential topics for the 2025 internships will be added here in early November following the Commission meeting.

Applicants should complete the application form, including a summary of their area of interest and the dates they are available for an internship and forward via email to the CCAMLR Secretariat at ccamlr [at] ccamlr [dot] org by 16 December 2024. All applications for an internship will be reviewed by the Executive Secretary based on the qualifications of the intern, the clarity of internship objectives, the relevance of internship to the work priorities and work plan of the CCAMLR Secretariat.
