UN Behavioural Science Fellowship Programme

We link UN Entities with early career researchers from the Global North and South who lead projects and up-skill UN colleagues via learning about the process of applying behavioural science.

UN Behavioural Science Internship Programme

We bring current students and recent graduates into the UN. Previous roles have included contributing to UN Behavioural Science Week, communications and learning how to embed behavioural science into the UN.

As opportunities arise, we will make them available on this page.

"One of the most striking aspects of my internship was the eagerness of UN entities to integrate behavioural science into their projects. Witnessing the tangible impact of behavioural insights in elevating project effectiveness was both surprising and gratifying. This practical application starkly contrasted with the theoretical focus of academia, bringing to light the real-world potential of behavioural science in shaping humanitarian efforts."
