Description
The International
Institute for Social Studies (ISS) is an international graduate school
of policy-oriented critical social science in The Hague and forms
part of Erasmus
University Rotterdam. It carries out research, teaching and public service
in the field of development studies and international cooperation. The
Management and Support Organization (MSO) is responsible for providing support
to staff and students at ISS. MSO consists of several teams, one of which
supports externally-financed research and institutional capacity development
projects. Staff working in the research and project support team are in day-to-day
contact with academic staff, ISS management, donors, potential cooperation
partners and external policy makers in the field of development studies and
international higher education.
As an intern you will provide administrative support for
project and research activities. These can include assisting at all stages of
the project cycle from acquisitions through to implementation e.g. support to
looking for funding opportunities, writing funding proposals, compiling
documents and files, preparing and taking part in meetings, minute taking,
preparing communications, organisation of activities, and occasionally
accompanying our project officers to stakeholder visits. Part of the internship
can be spent on the writing of a paper or assignment in the framework of
intern´s studies.

or Master university level in a relevant field interested in at least one
of the following areas:

The Internship duration is a minimum of 3 and a maximum
of 12 months. For periods longer than 3 months only EU-nationals can apply.

expects a positive and proactive attitude, a strong willingness to learn, an
interest to interact in a multi-cultural environment, a capability to perform
assigned tasks independently and accurately, and a motivation to work hard when
