Intern – Spring Semester

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 application 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.

Tasks of a SJAC intern include:

• Provide support to SJAC’s Justice Policy, Capacity Building, and Trial Monitoring Teams
• Contribute to SJAC’s social media accounts by promoting SJAC’s articles, reports, and latest developments
• Designing relevant communications materials, including infographics and factsheets

Strong English proficiency is required. Arabic proficiency is preferred, but not required. Knowledge of MailChimp, Google Analytics, Excel, and Adobe Suites is strongly desired. Interns must be able to work from the SJAC office in Washington, DC and are paid at the rate of $17.50/hour. Internships are typically 10-15 hours per week.

SJAC is a diverse organization made up of 50+ team members from around the globe. We pride ourselves in our ability to implement programming that is inclusive and responsive to the needs of all Syrians, and believe that our own team’s diversity of viewpoints and experiences helps us to achieve that goal. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
