About Collective Security Mindset

At Collective Security Mindset, we bridge the gap between technical security and humanitarian efforts. Our mission is to empower individuals and organizations through shared knowledge and robust defense strategies. We are currently expanding our efforts to support the documentation and registration of human rights violations globally, ensuring that evidence is preserved and justice is made possible through meticulous digital investigation.

Role Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and ethically-driven OSINT Researcher Intern for a 3-month position. This role is specifically designed for students currently enrolled in Human Rights, International Law, or Political Science programs who wish to apply their academic knowledge to real-world investigations.

Key Responsibilities

• Data Collection: Monitor social media, satellite imagery, and public databases to identify potential human rights violations.

• Verification: Utilize digital forensic techniques to verify the authenticity of photos, videos, and reports (geolocation, chronolocation, and source analysis).

• Documentation: Maintain rigorous logs and databases of findings in accordance with international standards for digital evidence.

• Reporting: Assist in drafting investigative reports and briefings on specific regions or types of violations.

Candidate Requirements

• Academic Status: Currently a student (undergraduate or postgraduate) studying Human Rights or a related legal/political field.

• Analytical Mindset: Strong research skills and the ability to connect disparate pieces of information.

• Integrity: A deep commitment to human rights and the ethical handling of sensitive or distressing information.

• Language: Fluency in English is required.

What We Provide (Benefits)

In exchange for your research contributions and commitment to justice, we provide a robust professional development package:

• Information Security Training: Intensive training in operational security (OpSec), data encryption, and secure communication techniques.

• Professional Certifications: Upon successful completion of the internship, we provide recognized certifications in Information Security and OSINT to bolster your professional portfolio.

• Mentorship: Direct access to experts in the fields of cybersecurity and international investigations.

• Academic Credit: We will coordinate with your university to help you secure academic credit for your hours.
