Internships

SIPRI is an independent international institute for research into problems of peace and conflict, especially those of arms control and disarmament. It was established in 1966 to commemorate Sweden’s 150 years of unbroken peace. The Institute is financed mainly by the Swedish Parliament. The staff, the Governing Board and the Advisory Committee are international. The results of the research are disseminated through the publication of books and reports by SIPRI and commissioned authors as well as through symposia and seminars.

SIPRI offers intern positions to young scholars from throughout the world to assist researchers at the Institute in the conduct of SIPRI research projects. Interns may also have a possibility to conduct some of their own research work at the Institute. This provides young scholars with an opportunity to learn about the research work conducted at SIPRI.

SIPRI does not have a formal programme for interns or special funding for this purpose. The Institute 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.

Intern positions are offered for periods of up to a few months. Positions are granted on the basis of the applicant’s academic background and university study programme as well as the relevance of the applicant’s research to SIPRI’s current research programme.

Applications are to be made by letter, addressed to Helena Berger, personnel officer at SIPRI. The letter of application should include information on the applicant’s academic background, current study programme, special research interests, the period of time he or she would like to spend at SIPRI, a complete curriculum vitae , and information on the source of funding for a stay at SIPRI.
