AC/UNU work includes reading UNU research and condense for AC/UNU listserv, representing the Executive Director at meetings, and general support. AC/UNU Millennium Project includes working on the annual "State of the Future" report, improving the web site, searching Internet to identify leaders in various fields, as well as the identification of future trends, and potential future events that can affect these trends.  There are also special projects defining environmental security jurisdictions between nation-states and international organizations, up-dating futures research manual, and  African Futures.  And there is general support work like monitoring project listservs, data entry, check texts for errors, translation of mail, and reviewing new software for project applications. The requirements change from month to month.

UNU is a decentralized research system headquartered in Tokyo with many scholars working out of their office or homes around the world. The AC/UNU has its offices in my home, however, the Millennium Project has an additional office downtown. Interns work in both locations. Tele-internships are also possible: interns work on their computers and tele-commute to AC/UNU.  Interns can also work at the Project's Nodes, overseas.

The internship program recognizes that each intern brings unique skills and insights. It is structured for both the interests of the intern and the needs of the organization. Interns that identify new possibilities are encouraged to develop them - within reason. This is not a paid internship. Most interns receive credit from their universities, or use the experience to get a job, or improve their chances of getting into more advanced graduate programs. Preference is given to graduate students and people wanting to make a mid-career change.

Before applying, review our web site http://millennium-project.org than send a copy of your resume, a letter explaining what you would like to do, your preferred beginning and ending dates, and whether your are interested in a full or part time internship. Naturally, preference is given to full-time applicants, but part-time (a minimum of 20 hours per week) is also possible. If you do not get a response within two weeks of your submission of this information, please contact jglenn@igc.org.

All the best,
