Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
UNAIDS particularly encourages applications from people living with HIV, women, and nationals of non- and under-represented member states. The programme promotes gender parity and broad geographic and socioeconomic diversity.
Candidates with immediate family members employed at the UNAIDS Secretariat are not eligible, and previous UNAIDS interns may not reapply.
Application Details
Interested candidates can apply through the official UNAIDS e-Recruitment portal. The application deadline is 30 June 2026.
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next steps in the recruitment process.
This internship represents a significant entry point for young professionals passionate about global health, international development, and human rights.
By joining UNAIDS, interns gain exposure to high-impact work aimed at achieving zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths.
