About the Internship
An internship at SIPRI provides an opportunity to learn about the institute’s work.
Interns from around the world are given the chance to assist in SIPRI’s research, under supervision, within its various research programmes. They may also have the opportunity to conduct some of their own research during their internship.
Location
Until further notice, due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), SIPRI is only able to offer virtual internships, without the possibility of being physically present at SIPRI.
Internship positions are normally offered for periods of a few months during the academic year. Positions are granted on the basis of the applicant’s academic background and university study programme, as well as the relevance of the applicant’s research to SIPRI’s current research programmes.
Eligibility
Interns at SIPRI are generally MA students, recent MA graduates, or at the beginning of their career as researchers.
