Human Rights Watch is hiring a Remote Asia Division Intern
\nAsia Division Intern\n\nApplication Deadline: March 4, 2022 \n\nThe Asia Division of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking student interns for the spring-summer 2022 semester in the Tokyo office. Ideally, the interns will be available part-time from April-September 2022. The interns will focus on projects surrounding domestic and international issues of Japan.\n\nDue to COVID-19, many of our offices remain closed or are open at a limited capacity. HRW prioritizes the safety of our interns. In locations that have eased office restrictions and are open at a limited capacity, interns are not expected to report to the office and remote arrangements will remain an option for the foreseeable future. However, interns may have the option of reporting to an office on a voluntary basis in accordance with HRWโs COVID-19 policies.\n\nResponsibilities:\n\nThe internship will primarily focus on assisting with HRW research on domestic and international human rights issues related to Japan, as well as with advocacy on those issues. The interns will build skills in conducting desk research, analyzing data, and organizing advocacy efforts regarding issues in Asia and beyond. The interns may have opportunities to attend external meetings with staff in the Asia division. Other projects may be assigned as they arise and match the studentโs interests and abilities.\n\nQualifications:\n\nInterns must be undergraduate students for the duration of the internship term. Students with relevant coursework in human rights are encouraged to apply. Applicants should be well-organized, self-motivated and reliable, with strong attention to detail. A demonstrated strong interest in human rights is highly desirable. Computer skills (Microsoft Office, Excel, internet applications) and internet research skills are essential. Advanced level proficiency in Japanese and English is highly desirable.\n\nApplicants who are offered an internship must possess valid work authorization in Japan for the duration of the internship.\n\nCompensation: Interns will receive a gross stipend of gross 800 yen per day they are in the office for lunch expenses in accordance with HRW policy and the intern. Interns will be reimbursed up to 2000 yen per day they are in the office for transportation. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships may offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW staff, and interaction with other international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements. \n\nHow to Apply : Please apply immediately by visiting our online portal at: https://careers.hrw.org and attaching a CV/resume, letter of interest, and a writing sample.

Due to the large number of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted further.\n\nIf you are experiencing technical difficulties with your application submission, please email [email protected].

We actively seek a diverse applicant pool and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
