The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) is soliciting requests for internships for its Countering Illicit Trafficking - Mechanism Assessment Project (CIT-MAP).
Interns will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team in developing a project, focusing on aspects of humanitarian aid delivery, peace-keeping and open source intelligence (OSI) tools, with the opportunity to provide your own input and idea.s
The successful candidate will work closely with the SIPRI communication staff to build a valuable network in the humanitarian community and to plan outreach activities for the media.
Candidates should have:
1) an academic background in political science or related;
2) should have an interest in outreach activities and will support the communications team with creating communication plans and recommend and establish communications and outreach strategies towards media and the humanitarian community;
3) courteous, polite disposition, and be able to effectively handle multiple priorities and deadlines on regular basis;
The working language is English, so the candidate should have good language skills in English, both orally and in writing.
SIPRI does not have a formal programme for interns or special funding for this purpose. SIPRI can therefore not pay for housing, travel or any other expenses and does not pay interns a salary. Applicants should indicate in their applications that they can provide their own funding to cover all their costs in Sweden.
For internships ranging between 3 - 6 months, beginning in August 2010 or on a date agreed on, potential candidates are invited to email their CV to safstrom@sipri.org and griffiths@sipri.org.
