Research Internships

The PSG periodically has vacancies for interns to work on a part-time basis from our office in north London. Previous interns have been involved with a wide variety of tasks including research, translation, fundraising, event organisation and membership development. If you are interested in volunteering with us please send a copy of your CV and a short covering letter, detailing your interests and availability to:

info@peruspportgroup.org.uk

Generally we request that applicants are able to read Spanish and can commit to working at least one day per week for a two-month period. While we are unfortunately unable to offer a salary to our interns, we do reimburse lunch and travel expenses within central London.

  • Historical Overview

    Over the past century Peru has suffered a series of autocratic governments and a civil war in which nearly 70,000 people died. Many of the country's ongoing political and social problems are a legacy of its somewhat turbulent past. 

  • Society and Conflict

    Peru’s indigenous and peasant communities continue to suffer political marginalisation and discrimination. Insufficient consultation with such groups over political and developmental decisions has fostered feelings of disenfranchisement and led to elevated levels of social conflict.
