Fall Intern

The Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC) is looking for a motivated intern with an interest in transitional justice and the conflict in Syria. SJAC accepts applications from current undergraduate, graduate and law students, as well as recent graduates. Interns are responsible for communicating SJAC’s message to Syrians and the international community as well as supporting SJAC’s analysis and research.

• Maintain SJAC’s social media accounts and promoting new analysis and events

• Create administrative materials such as spreadsheets, media trackers, polls, etc
• Other duties as assigned
