2006 TWG/Ukrainian Embassy Summer Internship

The Washington Group, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine, seeks candidates for its annual summer internship program at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington DC. Conducted by the TWG Fellowship Fund, the project aims to provide the Embassy with an intern to serve as a research assistant. In turn, that individual would gain valuable insight into the day-to-day operations of a foreign embassy in Washington DC.

The intern will receive a stipend of $1,500.

Applicants should have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies and be proficient in English and Ukrainian.  They should possess excellent oral and written communication skills, along with computer and Internet expertise. The intern should expect to assist the embassy with needs and issues as they arise, including general office work. 

Candidates should submit the following information no later than March 15, 2006:

  • a one-page essay in English, explaining interest in the internship, preferred starting date (May or June), and background and experience 

  • copies of academic transcripts 

  • one letter of recommendation 

  • names and contact information of two references 

  • optionally, the candidate can also submit a translation of their one-page essay in Ukrainian 

Applications should be emailed to: FellowshipFund@TheWashingtonGroup.org

Important Note:  The individual selected as the 2006 TWG Ukrainian Embassy Intern will need to make visa and travel arrangements in advance, and already be in the Washington DC area ready to start the internship in either late May or June 2006. The TWG Fellowship Fund regrettably cannot extend visa invitations to applicants, nor can it assist with other related visa or travel arrangements. The TWG Fellowship Fund is unable to offer financial assistance to the intern beyond the $1,500 stipend, and also cannot provide lodging for the selected intern.

The selection process is scheduled to be completed sometime on or about May 1st, with the selected candidate to be notified at that time. Due to the level of interest in the internship, applicants other than the selected intern regrettably will not be contacted regarding the status of their application.
