Call for Applications: Frank Lynch SJ Graduate Internship Program 2022

The Institute of Philippine Culture (IPC) of the Ateneo de Manila University is pleased to announce the Call for Applications for the Frank Lynch SJ Graduate Internship Program for 2022.  Now in its second year, the Frank Lynch SJ Graduate Internship Program is intended for individuals who have earned a degree in any of the various social science disciplines. It offers opportunities to build careers in research, social development, and social policy. 

For the program’s second year, selected graduate interns will participate in the IPC’s special project on “Multidisciplinary Explorations into Sustainable and Equitable Development,” a series of conversations to develop concepts in research, teaching, and community learning framed as Inclusivity, Productivity, and Human Rights. As the convenor, IPC will facilitate the series of conversations bringing in sociological, anthropological, economics, political science, communications, and development studies insights alongside NGO and PO voices.

The program is open to social science graduates who completed their studies in the last three years (2019-2021). Candidates must have strong social science training, excellent English writing skills, basic administrative and financial skills, appropriate computer skills including the use of graphics for presentation, and the ability to translate some of the substantive outputs into popular Filipino forms and styles.
