2001 TWG/Ukrainian Embassy Summer Internship

The Washington Group, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine, is seeking candidates to participate in its sixth annual summer internship program at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the project, which is being conducted under the auspices of the TWG Fellowship Committee, is to provide the Ukrainian Embassy with an intern who could serve as a research assistant to the embassy staff. In turn, the intern would gain valuable experience in learning how a foreign embassy in Washington works and how the embassy interacts with various Washington individuals and institutions.

Candidates for the two-month internship should have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies and be proficient in English and Ukrainian. (An excellent command of English --native fluency--is required). Applicants should possess excellent oral and writtencommunication skills and be able to demonstrate excellent computer skills, including proficiency with the Internet. Candidates should anticipate assisting the embassy with whatever issues and needs that may arise, including general office work.

Applicants should submit the following:
1.) a one-page essay explaining their interest in the internship, prefered starting date (in May or June), and how their work, educational and personal experience would help meet the goals of the project
2.) copies of academic transcripts
3.) one letter of recommendation
4.) two references

To be considered for this internship, candidates must submit this information to TWG no later than April 9, 2001.

The Washington Group Fellowship Committee will provide the successful candidate with a stipend of $1,500.
