Research Internship CIT-MAP

Candidates should have knowledge and experience of:

1) conducting internet and library research

2) an interest in conflict or post-conflict studies, humanitarian aid delivery or international relations, preferably with a focus on destabilizing commodity flows such as weapons, narcotics or valuable minerals

3) working with MS Office / Open Office packages particularly Access/OObase.

Interns will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team in a developing 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 ideas.

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 June 2010, potential candidates are invited to email their CV to edin.omanovic@sipri.org and griffiths@sipri.org.
