Ecologic Transatlantic Internship
Ecologic - Institute for International and European Environmental Policy invites students and recent university graduates from the US and Canada to apply for a position as a Transatlantic Intern at Ecologic. Each year, Ecologic brings young people interested in environmental policy to its headquarters in Berlin to participate in its international environmental research and consulting program.
Interns are integrated into Ecologic’s policy research and office routines, providing them real-world experience in an academic environment. The intern’s work program will depend on his or her interests, skills, and experience, as well as on current projects at Ecologic. Interns also have the opportunity to participate in events and conferences hosted by various organizations in Berlin’s transatlantic community, enabling them to gain a broader understanding of important policy issues.
Applicants should generally have at least a bachelor’s degree. Students may wish to pursue an Ecologic internship as part of their graduate degree program (in public policy, international relations, environmental studies, law or other relevant disciplines), or they may do so prior to commencing graduate studies. Starting and ending dates are flexible; generally, internships last for six to twelve months. Interns wishing to improve their German language skills are encouraged to take time from their full-time schedule at Ecologic to pursue language classes.
To apply, please send a full resume, academic record, and a writing sample (e.g. academic paper) in English. Please state the preferred start date and duration, and indicate your level of German language skills. Applications should be sent to Heike Hildebrand or Aaron Best at jobs@ecologic.de with “Internship Application” in the subject line.
