The United Nations University Office at the United Nations, New York (UNU-ONY) recruits Junior Professional Fellows (JPFs) for two sessions each year running from August to January, and February to July.

UNU-ONY Junior Professional Fellow's responsibilities will range widely, encompassing aspects of UNU-ONY's work

As a UN agency, the aim of the UNU is to function as a think tank of and for the UN, and to bridge the gap between policy makers and academia. The UNU Office in New York's areas of responsibility include Events, Marketing, and Partnership-Fundraising

 

Recently, two new focus areas have been added during the Junior Professional Fellows session that ran from August 2008 to January 2009: Policy Research and Latin America. This provides the Junior Professional Fellows with a unique opportunity to further expand the work that has recently been initiated, and to concretize the activities in these two important areas
