NYU is accepting applications on behalf of the World Bank for a 2015 JD summer internship with the World Bank’s Social Development Team in New Delhi, India. NYU will provide the regular public interest summer funding for the selected intern. 1Ls and 2Ls are eligible to apply.
Intern Task Description: Unless the Bank decides otherwise, the NYU fellow will work in the Bank’s New Delhi office’s social development team under the supervision of Shankar Narayanan, Senior Social Development Specialist. Subject to the supervisor’s discretion, the NYU fellow will be responsible for research and drafting memos and documents relating to Indian or comparative land policy, economics, and law. He or she may also be given specific assignments by other Bank staff members in consultation with his or her supervisor.
Intern Qualifications: The fellow must have full competency in English and excellent legal and analytical skills. He or she must be able to hit the ground running, be willing to do long hours of research, and produce memos on short notice. She or he must obtain a proper visa to work as an intern in India—this requirement is not usually difficult for Americans. The Bank can provide a letter, but will not be able to assist in obtaining a visa. Costs of travel, relocation, and residence are the fellow’s responsibility (with the assistance of NYU summer funding). Standard Bank processing requirements, including security clearances, will apply.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, unofficial NYU transcript, and writing sample by Friday February 13, 2015 to David Glasgow, Fellow, Public Interest Law Center, at david.glasgow@nyu.edu.
