Internship Posting - Summer Internship at the German Historical Institute Warsaw: Friday, February 20 (Application Deadline)

The International Institute offers an unpaid internship at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw between May 18 and June 26.

English language skills are essentially sufficient, but it were helpful if the student had German and/or Polish language skills.

If you are interested, please send a resume and cover letter to Gitta Kohler (bkohlerk@umich.edu)

Here is a broad description of the internship:
The German Historical Institute in Warsaw offers interested parties the opportunity to complete internships in their respective fields of work. This opportunity is available both in the academic field and in the Institute's library. Internships in the academic field are aimed at students in higher semesters whose studies focus on German-Polish relations and Polish or East Central European history and culture. Students of library science and library studies with a focus on academic libraries can apply for an internship in the library.

Interns in the academic field will be assigned to one of the institute's five research areas, where they will perform various tasks (e.g., compiling bibliographies, conducting Internet research, editing and translating academic texts, making copies and scans, working with microfilm readers) for 4–5 hours during the institute's opening hours. A dedicated computer workstation is available for this purpose. In addition, interns will gain insight into other areas of the institute's work (library, administration, secretarial work, reception, event management) and have the opportunity to devote part of their internship to furthering their own professional development or working on their own research topic. The prerequisite for the latter is that the work assigned during the internship is completed properly and on time. Interns are invited to discuss their research interests and any planned theses with staff members and to participate in events organized by the institute (colloquia, lectures, etc.). Any absences from the institute during opening hours must be agreed in advance with the internship supervisor and reported to the office.
