The NAMMCO Internship Programme offers students or early-career professionals the opportunity to gain valuable experience in international environmental management, develop their skills, and deepen their understanding of NAMMCO and its activities.

Please note that, due to visa regulations, only applicants who hold citizenship of NAMMCO member countries or EEA countries are eligible to apply.

Interns are required to work 37.5 hours per week at the NAMMCO Secretariat, located in Tromsø, Norway.

OBJECTIVES 

The internship aims to provide interns with valuable experience and insight into NAMMCO, an intergovernmental organisation specialising in environmental management advice, as well as into the daily operations of its Secretariat. In turn, the organisation will benefit from the intern’s professional presence, as well as the knowledge, skills, and innovative ideas they contribute.

NATURE OF THE INTERNSHIP

The internship offers the opportunity to contribute to projects relevant to the work of NAMMCO.

Under the supervision of the Secretariat staff, interns will actively engage in the daily operations and activities of the organisation. Depending on the needs and opportunities available at the time, their tasks may include:

• Communication and outreach (e.g., managing content for the website, social media platforms, traditional media, and preparing presentations)
• Organising, participating in, and reporting on meetings and events
• Editing texts
• Maintaining databases, libraries, and archives

Please note that fieldwork or laboratory work is not included as part of this internship.

The intern will be assigned a supervisor and will hold regular meetings with the Secretariat staff. The preferred duration of the internship is between 9 and 12 months.
