What are the responsibilities and job description for the 2025 Fund Internship Program (FIP) - Legal Department position at International Monetary Fund?
Work for the IMF. Work for the World.
The IMF's Legal Department is seeking applications to an internship assignment, part of the 2025 Fund Internship Program (FIP). The duration of the internship will be 10-12 weeks and will be undertaken between June and September 2025 (the precise period of the internship will be agreed between the department and the successful candidate).
The selected candidate will work in one of the units of the Legal Department under the supervision and guidance of a senior member of the unit. Projects assigned (which differ from year to year) will be determined at a time closer to the start of the internship to ensure that they are directly aligned with the department's work program and, to the extent possible, with the interests of the intern.

- Analysis of the impact of corruption on sovereign lending and on sovereign debt restructuring.
- Review the regulatory approaches taken by one or more financial centers to insider trading and the use of material non-public information.
- Research on international law issues related to monetary and financial law with relevance to the IMF’s mandate on surveillance and use of IMF resources.
