RIAS Research Internship
The Roosevelt Institute for American Studies regularly offers academic internships. These internships are usually either research-based or project-focused. They are meant to help the students fulfill the requirements of their academic programs and are arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Academic research internships are open to students who are interested in combining a period of intensive research at the RIAS with the writing of their theses or research papers. These internships may involve the cataloging and digitization of specific RIAS records.
Project-focused internships require the students to help the RIAS staff manage a specific research project or organize a public event. In this case, duties may involve PR, online communication, and event participation.
The academic internship program is usually equivalent to 7.5 ECTS, but it can change depending on students’ academic programs’ requirements. For more information and expressions of interest, please contact us at info@roosevelt.nl.
