Stage – Roosevelt Institute
Want to acquire practical experience in an academic institute and broaden your knowledge about America? Then continue reading!
Every year (from 1 January to 31 March; from 1 April to 30 June; from 1 July to 30 September; and from 1 October to 31 December), the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies (RIAS) is looking for academic interns for a period of three months. The RIAS is an ideal position for a student in American Studies, (American) History, or International Relations who has good command of spoken and written English as well as knowledge of Dutch. The tasks for the intern include: library duties, assisting the staff in the organization of activities, maintenance of the website and social media, making archival materials accessible for visiting researchers, and secretarial assistance. Of course, there is also time for you to do your own research!
The internship is a multi-purpose position where you could learn many things, so it is especially useful for students who are considering an academic career or want to acquire some academic work experience. Because the RIAS is a small institute, many different kinds of challenges will show up along the way.
We can offer an intern payment of 370 gross a month, with the possibility of compensation towards your housing costs. We will also help you to find accommodation.
The Roosevelt Institute for American Studies is located in the beautiful city center of Middelburg. The RIAS promotes academic research and provides graduate and post graduate training on the history and culture of the United States and European-American relations in the 20th and 21 st centuries. It holds large book and archival collections on these subjects, and its staff regularly provide information to the public. The RIAS is also a meeting place and conference center for European and American historians.
