We look for highly qualified individuals with unique backgrounds, original views, and diversity in academic training and work experience.

The HCSS Internship Program
The HCSS internship program is a dynamic and varied opportunity in research, analysis, data, communication, networking, copy writing, and policy development. Internships at HCSS are for students only. In the interest of the successful candidate’s learning trajectory, the internship will be carried out at the HCSS office in The Hague, insofar as this is feasible given the current travel restrictions related to COVID-19. You can find out more about The HCSS Internship Programme on the dedicated internship page. The latest open positions can be found below.
The HCSS Internship Program is run by internship coordinators Karlijn Velthuis and Benedetta Girardi.
