Internship Legal Unit

Job - May 14, 2013
Legal internships are available with the Legal Unit of Greenpeace International. The Legal Unit advises Greenpeace International, and when necessary the national and regional offices of Greenpeace, on campaigns and organisational legal issues and provides support with legal cases.

Alongside the daily practice of the Legal Unit there are various research projects that, in accordance with the specific interests and background of the intern, can be undertaken.

Legal internships are full-time positions (40 hours per week) for a period of three months or more. Remuneration is by a modest monthly contribution towards cost of living of €400 for residents in the Netherlands, and €800 for non-residents.

Unfortunately, we can only accept candidates who have a student and/or work and/or residency permit for the Netherlands.

We are looking for someone who is available to start immediately.

The duration of the internship is somewhat flexible.
