Who?

Students of all faculties (BA, MA or PhD) who have been enrolled at an institution of higher education in an EU member state, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Serbia, Turkey or North Macedonia for at least two semesters, have an advanced knowledge of German or English and want to do a traineeship abroad in Austria.

What?

• Fully equipped working place in the heart of Salzburg with good networking opportunities
• Involvement in the organisational activities of an interdisciplinary research institution (preparation of events, reports for the homepage of the ifz, support of our social media appearance, weekly team meeting and research seminar …)
• One main focus to choose freely:
  • Traineeship with focus on science: elaboration of an autonomous research project linked with ethics (e.g. thesis, scientific paper or practice-oriented project) and its presentation in the research seminar of the ifz
  • Traineeship with focus on public relations and organisation: design and realisation of an autonomous project in the field of public relations (e.g. well-researched podcast, image video, Lego Serious Play or Playmobil Pro) and its publication on the homepage of the ifz
• There are no limits to your creativity!

When and how long?

On the basis of a 38-hour week, the traineeship period should last a minimum of two months and a maximum of five months. From Tuesday to Thursday trainees are expected to be present at the ifz. The remaining of the working time may be dedicated to their autonomous projects. It is possible to start the traineeship at any time. There are no traineeships offered in August.
