About the Organisation

The Esya Centre is a niche innovation and technology policy think-tank based in New Delhi, focussing on the triad of economics-law-technology, with ‘people’ at the centre of all its values.

About the Internship

They are looking for motivated people who share the same ethos and are willing to contribute to cutting-edge legal research.

Interns will be expected to contribute towards on-going research work at Esya. This will involve research and writing policy briefs, blog posts on topical developments in technology policy, and making presentations.

Candidates are expected to have excellent research, analytical, and writing skills. Since the team at Esya is small, interns are expected to get fully involved in all the work and share equal responsibility. This also means publication opportunities, accompanying us to policy events, and full credit in research outputs.

  1. 4th year or 5th-year students pursuing a BA LLB (Hons) degree, or final year students pursuing a 3 year LLB degree.
  2. Demonstrated academic interest and prior experience/completion of courses on intellectual property rights, technology policy/laws.
  3. Excellent research and writing skills.
  4. Available to intern in person at our Delhi office for a period of 4-6 weeks, depending on the candidate’s preference.
