Our Internships

Salzburg Global is where open-minded leaders from around the world gather for breakthrough conversations on pressing global issues.

Since 1947, our programs have worked to overcome barriers and open up a world of better possibilities–creating spaces where divergent voices can address the big challenges of our time.

Our two main offices are in Salzburg, Austria, and Washington, D.C.

At Salzburg Global, internships are more than learning experiences — they’re an invitation to join a community built on connection, care, and shared purpose.

From day one, you’re not “just an intern”—you’re an important and valued member of an international team where you work alongside colleagues, Fellows, partners, and stakeholders from around the world. 

You’ll collaborate across cultures and contribute to meaningful projects in our programs. We match your interests and talents with purposeful work—from contributing to our programs, communications, and marketing to research, library support, and institutional development projects. 

Your experience as an intern fosters both professional growth and personal development, allowing you to make a real impact.

Whether you’re launching your career or exploring your path, our internships offer more than experience—they offer connection, challenge, and belonging. 

Our Internship Program is specially designed for young professionals. Successful applicants are selected from across the world in a highly competitive process.

We make every effort to choose a diverse group of interns and align their general and specific assignments to maximize both the learning experience they receive and the contributions they can make.

We've listed the internships we offer below so you can learn more.

We’re grateful for the strong interest in our internships. Unfortunately, we’re unable to respond to questions about the program or individual applications. 

Please know that every application is reviewed with care, and we’ll be in touch as soon as possible.
