United Nations University (Tokyo) Internship Opportunity

The United Nations University's Media Studio builds interactive content and video documentaries that engage, entertain and educate, as part of the UNU OnLine Learning initiative. This includes a burgeoning web magazine called Our World 2.0 (http://onlinelearning.unu.edu/en/our-world-20-climate-oil-and-food/) that explores the interactions between our daily lives and the complex and pressing issues of climate change, oil dependency and food security. The Media Studio seeks interns who would like to contribute in a number of capacities, including helping to develop a contact network, a list of potential Our World 2.0 sponsors and partners, applying for grants from foundations, web marketing, etc. Those interested in research and writing would also have the opportunity to propose articles to the editorial team.

The start date and working hours would be flexible. Japanese skills are preferable but not essential. For the exact requirements and application procedures candidates should visit the UNU's internship page (http://unu.edu/employment/intern.html) and note on their application that they are interested in working with Online Learning. Please drop us a line (see contacts below) once you have submitted your application.

The team at the Media Studio (located on Aoyama-dori in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) would be more than happy to give anyone interested a tour of the studio and/or answer questions by e-mail. Please contact Brendan Barrett at barrett[at]unu. edu, Carol Smith at csmith[at]unu.edu, or Mark Notaras at notaras[at]unu. edu.
