Summer 2012 Internship Program
Vera runs an annual summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. Interns typically work full time in one of Vera’s departments or centers and programs for 10-12 weeks; some part-time positions may be available. In addition to working on individual assignments, all interns participate in events organized by the internship coordinator. For example, last summer interns visited Rikers Correctional Facility, lunched with executive-level management, and visited Vera demonstration projects.
Applications are due by March 15, 2012
International Program Intern (1)
Vera’s International Program collaborates with national governments, civil society leaders, and international agencies to improve systems people rely on for justice and safety, providing technical assistance on a wide range of topics including the development of rule of law indicators, the use of empirical research methods for justice reform in both common and civil law countries, and the development of participatory models of community accountability for criminal justice institutions.
Vera’s China Program works collaboratively with reformers in China to facilitate justice innovations and policy changes that are rooted in experience, guided by empirical methods, and consistent with international human rights standards. Vera’s work in China builds on the knowledge and drive of local universities and government partners.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibility for the 2012 summer intern will be working on Vera projects focused on legal reform in China.
Potential responsibilities may include: assisting in the preparation of written briefing materials and proposals; serving as liaison with Mandarin-speaking partners in China; assisting in organizing a conference for Chinese partners in Los Angeles; supporting the development of substantive presentations of Vera’s work in Mandarin; participating in strategic planning sessions for the growth of the program; and, providing general administrative help to the China Program.
Qualifications: Enrollment in a relevant graduate program (e.g. Public Policy, Criminal Justice, etc.) or law school with a demonstrated interest in criminal justice and legal reform in China. An ideal candidate would also possess solid interpersonal, public speaking, research and writing skills, as well as a fluency (both written and oral) in Mandarin and English. Strong quantitative and analytical skills are also preferred.
