AC4 is Seeking an Outreach Intern for Spring 2013!
AC4 Outreach Internship: Description and Application Instructions
Brief description of anticipated intern tasks:
At AC4, we are dedicated to fostering a unique community of learning, experimentation and development for scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers working together across relevant disciplines to generate leading-edge ideas, practices and technologies for fostering violence prevention, conflict resolution, and sustainable development and peace. One of our newest initiatives: AC4 Link is a web-based information hub that highlights all faculty, centers, and programs conducting research, practice, and teaching activities related to conflict resolution, peace, violence prevention, and work in complexity science and sustainable development. This site will serve as a virtual community that highlights the interdisciplinary links at Columbia, providing access to this information in one centralized location. We have developed a plan to publicize the site, which includes collecting additional content, gathering feedback and strategizing about the next steps in developing the site further. AC4 is requesting the assistance of an intern who will be able to do outreach, via phone and email, to the faculty members and program administrators profiled in AC4Link. She/he will connect with them and schedule face-to-face meetings in which the intern will describe and showcase the project and ask for feedback. The intern will also promote AC4Link to the student community. This internship offers a student the opportunity to meet and network with faculty, students and staff across many departments within each of the schools at Columbia University. The intern will report to the Assistant Director of AC4 and the AC4 Link project coordinator.

Please note: this internship requires that you are a full time graduate student with easy and frequent access to the Columbia University campuses of Teachers College, Morningside and the Medical School. The intern will also be required to attend regular staff meetings and be present in our Interchurch headquarters at least once a week. This internship requires a minimum of ten hours per week, with a possible maximum of twenty hours per week.
Students from all disciplines and graduate schools within Columbia are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to students that are familiar with the conflict resolution community at Columbia. Furthermore, the ideal candidate for this position will be comfortable “cold calling” people, at ease meeting new faculty members and students, poised while speaking in front of large groups, capable of working independently and accepting feedback constructively.
Internship start date: On or around February 11
Internship end date: On or around May 15
To apply: email a recent CV/resume and cover letter to Christianna Gozzi at cgozzi@ei.columbia.edu no later than Wednesday, February 6.

Great opportunities for prospective interns though it looks to me like the programme isn’t open for international students.
Hello Temilade,
The internship is open to international students as long as the student is currently enrolled as a full time graduate student at Columbia University. If you have further questions, please email me at cgozzi@ei.columbia.edu.
Thank you for your interest!
Is this a paid opportunity? If so, is it FWS?
Hi Dean,
Yes, it is paid but it is not FWS.
