The position 

As an intern at the Representation of Greenland in Washington, D.C. you will be part of a team that is focused on strengthening the relationship between Greenland and the United States, as well as Canada. Greenland remains an increasingly important actor, as the political, environmental, and economic interest for the Arctic continues to accelerate in North America and internationally. The representation is looking for an intern that will actively contribute to safeguarding and promoting Greenland’s interests in the USA and Canada, along with colleagues at the representation. Your areas of focus will be wide and varied, possibly ranging from political developments, trade, climate change, critical minerals, and more. However, you will have the opportunity to delve into you interests as well.

During your internship you will have the chance to cultivate skills within public diplomacy, networking, research, as well as learning how to navigate and work in an international and dynamic environment. Your specific tasks will include assist with the work of the representation’s SoMe channels, assist in coordinating events, research, writing reports, minutes and background notes, as well as participating in conferences and other events on behalf of the representation. In addition to this, you will also get the chance to experience life in a city that offers ample of cultural and social events, and an opportunity to expand your own professional network.

The Candidate

• Enrolled in a Master’s program, or third year of a Bachelor’s program.
• Has insight and interest in Greenland’s foreign policy relations.
• Being able to understand English (Greenlandic and Danish as far as possible as well is a plus, not a requirement).
• Takes initiative, is motivated and able to work independently as well as in a team setting.
• Office package on a user level is expected.
• General and user knowledge of social media is a plus, not a requirement.
