"One of the most striking aspects of my internship was the eagerness of UN entities to integrate behavioural science into their projects. Witnessing the tangible impact of behavioural insights in elevating project effectiveness was both surprising and gratifying. This practical application starkly contrasted with the theoretical focus of academia, bringing to light the real-world potential of behavioural science in shaping humanitarian efforts."

“My favourite part about the internship was getting to use my skills while also developing new ones. Since the marketing and communications initiatives at the UN behavioural science Initiative are relatively nascent, there was lots of opportunity to explore innovative strategies and diverse awareness projects."
Work with us
We seek motivated interns to support the work of the UN Behavioural Science Group, which is an initiative of the UN Innovation Network and the Executive Office of the Secretary-General. Our interns work as key members of our team, pursue projects that are designed to make a permanent difference, and have opportunities to learn about the work of the entire UN System.
Currently, there are no openings for interns. Look out for upcoming opportunities soon!
