Ethics & International Affairs, the journal of the Carnegie Council, seeks a remote volunteer intern for the spring semester. The goal of the journal is to integrate rigorous thinking about principles of ethics and justice into discussions of the practical policy dilemmas that frequently arise in global politics. Some topics that the journal commonly publishes on include the ethics of war, the responsibility to protect, international migration, climate change, human rights, and emerging technology.
The internship is an excellent opportunity to receive training and develop broadly applicable skills for a future in academia, the nonprofit sector, or the publishing industry.
The volunteer intern’s tasks will include:
- Reading and critically assessing manuscript submissions
- Facilitating the peer-review process
- Record-keeping and administrative tasks
- Drafting and editing various blog posts and manuscripts for publication

Candidates are strongly encouraged to gain general familiarity with the substance of the journal.
