CFP: LGI Research Internship in Budapest (Fall 2002)


Call for LGI Research Interns
Fall 2002

LGI is currently accepting applications for its research internship
program. Interns will work on a voluntary basis at the LGI office
(located in the Budapest headquarters of the Open Society Institute)
in a diverse, challenging and exciting environment on various topics
related to local public policy development, decentralization, public
service reform, and multi-ethnic community management. Interns will
contribute to LGI research and publications and participate in a
variety of projects addressing the Central-Eastern European, Southeast
European and Central Asian regions. The internship cycle will last for
a period of  six months.

The next deadline for submitting application is April 22, 2002 for the
period of  Fall 2002 (September 1, 2002 - February 2003).

Qualifications:
Interns must have excellent writing, research and communication skills
and must hold at least a BA degree (MA desirable) in an area related
to public policy or political science. Interns should be knowledgeable
about the Central-Eastern European region (or Southeastern Europe or
Central Asia), able to work independently and computer literate.
Familiarity with online research and a commitment to working in the
region are a bonus.

As the official language of LGI/OSI is English, excellent written and
oral skills are highly desirable.

Application Process:
All applications must include the following materials:
* Resume
* Cover letter explaining the applicant's qualifications and
motivation in applying for the internship
* The names and contact information (e-mail and telephone numbers) of
two references familiar with your academic or written work
* An English language writing sample (publication) no longer than 5
pages in length

The deadline for applications for the Fall internship is April 22, 
2002. Applicants will be notified by May 31, 2002, and will be
expected to begin working in Budapest by September 1, 2002. (Next
deadline for application in 2002:  October 1, 2002 for the period of
Spring 2003)

Due to Hungarian tax regulations, LGI is not permitted to provide
compensation for its interns and therefore encourages prospective
applicants to seek outside sources of funding.
