discuss in your cover letter how your professional goals, interests,
and background relate to the Commission's legislative mandate regarding
human rights and the rule of law in China.

Those who wish to apply for internships should understand the following:

  • CECC interns receive a salary of $10/hour;
  • Interns must be U.S. citizens;
  • We regret that interns are not eligible for federal benefits.
  • During
    the fall and spring semesters, CECC internships are part-time, and we
    expect interns to work between 15 and 20 hours per week;
  • During the summer, CECC internships are full-time, and we expect summer interns to work between 32 and 40 hours per week;
  • Interns
    should have completed at least some China-related coursework. It is
    also desirable that they have some background in one or more of the
    specific human rights and rule of law issues in the CECC legislative mandate.
  • Interns
    should be able to read Chinese well enough to assist with research in
    newspapers, journals, and on websites.  More advanced Chinese language
    capability would be a plus.  The successful candidate for an internship
    often will have lived or studied in mainland China, Hong Kong, or
    Taiwan.
  • Interns will conduct research and writing projects
    on human rights and rule of law issues in China under the supervision
    of Commission staff. Interns may also assist with researching and
    updating records on the Commission’s Political Prisoner Database. Interns
    may also be invited or required to attend some of the many rule of law
    and human rights events organized by the Commission and other
    organizations in Washington, D.C.
  • Although our interns are
    generally current students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate
    degree, others are also welcome to apply.
