Description


Ethics & International Affairs, the journal of the Carnegie Council, seeks an intern for the spring semester. The goal of the journal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice by integrating rigorous thinking about principles of justice and morality into discussions of the practical policy dilemmas that frequently arise in global politics. The journal publishes articles in three broad theme areas: ethics, war, and peace, global social justice, and religion in politics.

The selected candidate's tasks will include:

Managing the peer-review process

Assisting with administrative duties (e.g., ordering and tracking books for review; corresponding with authors regarding biographical notes and abstracts; drafting and mailing postproduction correspondence with journal contributors, publishers of reviewed books, and advertisers; identifying and tracking potential peer reviewers)

Researching information on topics relevant to manuscripts for publication in the journal

Depending on skill level, suggesting revisions of manuscripts for publication

Proofreading revised manuscripts (journal articles, website contents)

Candidates must be graduate students in International Affairs, Political Science, Philosophy, International Law or related areas; have a solid understanding of normative and empirical issues in international relations, global policy, and economics; excellent writing skills; attention to detail; strong Web and electronic database research skills; and excellent familiarity with Microsoft Word. Candidates are strongly encouraged to gain general familiarity with the substance of the journal.

The intern is an integral part of the editorial team and receives a place on the journal's masthead. Please send us a resume and a short cover letter to journal@cceia.org explaining your motivation and qualifications for the internship.

Terms and Conditions: This is an unpaid internship. School credit can be arranged and a transportation stipend of $15 a day will be provided. We require a minimum commitment of 15 hours a week during the spring semester.
