Established in 2001, the Program on Human Rights and Justice aims to create a cutting-edge inter-disciplinary environment for research, teaching, curricular development and real-world application in human rights, especially relating to the global economy and science and technology. It is the first human rights program in a leading technology school and the first in the world with a specific focus on the human rights aspects of economic, scientific and technological developments. Cross-cultural dimensions of human welfare, security and dignity animate all the activities of the Program.

The Program on Human Rights and Justice at the Center for International
Studies is now inviting invitations for its summer internship program for
2009. This year, six internship positions are available for MIT students pursuing international work experience under the theme Human Rights, the Environment, and Environmental Justice. The awards are available to current undergraduate and graduate students who will be full-time students in 2009-10.

Internships are available for a maximum of $4,000, of which $1,000 will be paid upon completion of an internship report and oral presentation in the fall semester. The internship grant may be used for travel, living stipend and related expenses.

The deadline for applications is May 11th, 2009 to: phrj@mit.edu. For more information visit, http://mit.edu/phrj/intern-applyinfo.html
