ICARDA Internship

ICARDA's internship program is designed to provide practical experience in research and other areas of the Center's activities for eligible applicants.
The subject should be of mutual interest to the intern and the hosting Program/Unit of ICARDA.

The internship will usually be for a period of one to six months, as per the need, and is not intended to lead to an advanced degree (M.Sc. or Ph.D.).

The practical experience provided during the internship would complement and strengthen the intern's academic study and provide contacts in the professional spheres that s/he is likely to enter at later stages in preparation for an advanced degree.

On the other hand, the intern is expected to contribute to enhanced research efforts in the host Program/Unit of the Center by bringing in diversity and additional dynamism in the research team.
