Dear Colleagues
I would like to ask for your assistance in circulating this message widely
amongst your networks of students of demography, sociology and related
subjects. Many thanks for your help.
The Population Unit of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UNECE) is looking for qualified interns for 2011. Internships are for a
minimum of two months, maximum of six months, and are for current graduate
students. They are non-remunerated. Information on the work of the
Population Unit can be found here:
http://www.unece.org/pau/Welcome.html and details of the internship
application process here:
http://www.unece.org/pau/internship.htm (students interested in applying
should also read the general UNECE internship application page,
http://www.unece.org/oes/internships/internship_prog.htm).
At present the Population Unit is working primarily on topics related to
ageing: producing a series of Policy Briefs on ageing; assisting countries
of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia with designing policies for
mainstreaming ageing; servicing the Intergovernmental Working Group on
Ageing; and coordinating regional implementation and follow-up to the Madrid
International Plan of Action on Ageing. We are also closely involved with
the Generations and Gender Programme,
http://www.ggp-i.org/, for which we administer data access.
Applicants should have an excellent level of written and spoken English.
(Knowledge of French and/or Russian would be an advantage). We would
welcome applications from students with good knowledge of population issues,
especially those relating to ageing and older persons; understanding of
international organizations and policymaking; and excellent research skills
(locating, organizing, evaluating and summarizing material). Students with
knowledge of simple qualitative database design would be particularly useful
to us at present.
Please feel free to contact me or my colleague Stefanie Bluth
(Stefanie.Bluth (at) unece.org) with any questions.
With best wishes,
Fiona
