A Chatham House internship is your chance to work with our community of world-leading policy experts and make lifelong connections. If you are passionate about international affairs and looking for a career in the sector, we want to hear from you.

Former interns have gone on to play instrumental roles in governments, NGOs, academic institutions, international organizations and think tanks.

Join us and learn about shaping policies, influencing debates and creating real change.

Getting to work closely with experts in a field I’m so passionate about has made for an exciting and rewarding start to my career.
