Candidates from across the world are invited to express interest in specific areas of work and organizational locations (regional office or country offices).

All applications should be made through WHO Careers site https://www.who.int using the WHO corporate recruitment system (Stellis) and following steps will be followed:

1. Go to www.who.int

2. Go to employment section

3. Choose WHO internship program

4. Create a profile filling all necessary fields when you choose "global vacancy notice”

5. Apply to global internship requisition announcement -valid for the period.

6. Choose Egypt/ EMRO  (and/or preferred country office) as one of the preferred places to work

The vacancy notices are opened each year for six months at a time:

  • From January to June
  • From July to December

Please be aware that if you applied for an internship before 30 June 2019, if you are still interested in an internship with WHO and have not heard anything back from WHO, you need now to reapply to the vacancy that has been opened again.

Applications received for WHO Internships are made available to technical units regionally for review all year round. You are welcome to apply at any time when the vacancy notice is open. Applications will be screening as per eligibility criteria and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for written assessments and interview. A WHO technical unit can contact you at any time regarding an internship during the six months period when the Global Vacancy Notice is open. The period of time for the review of applications is, therefore, indeterminate. If you do not hear from a WHO during the first round of openings, you are welcome to reapply during the second period as long as you still meet the eligibility requirements.
