Research Assistant Intern ECIPE - The European Centre for International Political Economy

The European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) is an independent and non-profit policy research think tank dedicated to trade policy and other international economic policy issues of importance to Europe. ECIPE is rooted in the classical tradition of free trade and an open world economic order. We aim to foster a “culture of evaluation” so that better public awareness and understanding of complex issues in concrete situations can lead to intelligent discussion and improved policies.
ECIPE is now recruiting for an internship programme starting in Spring 2015.
Responsibilities:
Interns will participate in all of ECIPE’s work and will undergo a training programme that is designed after their future career interests. Interns assist ECIPE scholars with research assistance and participate in research programmes.
Requirements:
Candidates should have a Master’s degree in economics (international economics/trade economics), international political economy, European integration, or an equivalent discipline relevant for ECIPE’s research profile. For non-economist applicants: basic knowledge of economics and good numerical skills, including MS Excel.
We are particularly looking for candidates with an excellent academic record and with a strong interest for a future career in academia, journalism, or policy making.
Interns should have excellent writing skills and should be fluent in English.
Application documents:
Letter of interest explaining why you would like to do an internship with ECIPE (1 page);
CV with two academic references;
MA/MSc dissertation in English (if your MA/MSc dissertation will be finished soon after the deadline, send your BA/BSc dissertation and a research outline of the MA/MSc dissertation).

How to apply:
Applications deadline for the Spring internships (starting in March) is December 1, the previous year, and for the Autumn term (starting in September) is May 1, the same year. The documents should be sent to jobs@ecipe.org.
Please note that only short-listed candidates will be contacted.
