Details
TLI is happy to involve interns in its work for advancing human and minority rights. We value the skills and perspectives interns can bring to our work.
Internship positions last typically between 3 to 6 months and are part-time (3 days a week, 4-5 hours a day), however, this can vary depending on individual circumstances. Interns at TLI help organise our events, and assist the staff in tasks that underpin our work e.g. background research, administration, proofreading etc.
During their stay, interns have an opportunity to gain experience, knowledge and skills relevant in an international human and minority rights organisation. We aim to assist interns in their professional development. Hence the selection of program areas, projects and tasks for an individual intern takes into account the intern’s interests and wishes as well as the needs of the TLI. In addition, we try to create opportunities for interns to network and to attend events and conferences.
Our working language is mostly English, thus a good command of English is necessary.
How to Apply
We accept applications on an ongoing basis. From time to time we will post Calls for a particular intern position on this website.
Please send an e-mail to info@tomlantosinstitue.hu, including a CV and letter of motivation in English. Please specify the period you would like to work with us, and you can also indicate the program area you would like to work in. Shortlisted candidates are invited for an interview (face-to-face, or Skype).
About us
The Tom Lantos Institute (TLI) is an independent human and minority rights organisation with a particular focus on Jewish and Roma communities, Hungarian minorities, and other ethnic or national, linguistic and religious minorities. It is a Budapest-based organisation with a multi-party board, an international Executive Committee and Advisory Board. It operates internationally in terms of staff, partners, scope, and funds. As a research and education platform, TLI aims to bridge the gaps between research and policy, norms and practice.
The TLI was established in Hungary in May 2011 by the decision of the Hungarian Government and the U.S. Senate to honour and continue the legacy of Tom Lantos, a Hungarian-American and the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to the United States Congress. A powerful voice for human rights and civil liberties throughout his life, he was the Co-Founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and rose to become the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. After his death, Congress permanently established the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission.
Core funding of the organisation is provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Centre for Democracy Public Foundation. The organisation also receives project funding from a variety of intergovernmental and private sources.
