Internship spring 2025
You now have the possibility to apply for an internship at GenDip for 10-20 weeks during spring 2025, starting on the 20th of January or later. Apply no later than the 20th of October if you are interested in studying issues related to gender and international politics.
The GenDip program maps and analyzes the changing character of diplomacy as carried out by men, women and other career diplomats around the world. Diplomacy – the official relations between governments by other means than military force – is a central institution of international politics. In the 19th and much of the 20th centuries, diplomacy was an all-male institution, practiced by men and infused by norms of masculinity. In the 2000s, a rapidly increasing number of women have entered the diplomatic arena. GenDip thus asks questions about various gender dimensions of diplomacy.
GenDip is situated at the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. It is led by Professor Ann Towns. The GenDip team conducts several research projects, all focusing on the changing role of diplomacy in the contemporary world. GenDip also includes an international network of scholars studying gender and diplomacy around the globe.
We are looking for students with an interest in gender and international politics. You will be collaborating with GenDip researchers in their research projects and learn more about how a research program like GenDip operates through attending meetings, seminars, reading workshops and more. The main tasks during the internship will consist of research assistance in GenDip projects. This might include gathering of data, coding of data, writing literature overviews and summarizing preliminary findings etc. Command of the English language is required; command of Swedish is an advantage but not required; other language skills are an advantage. Please specify your language skills in your CV. No deeper quantitative skills are required.
Application: To apply for an internship at the GenDip program, send your CV and a personal letter (no longer than one A4) to Program Coordinator Kajsa Evertsson (kajsa.evertsson@gu.se) no later than the 20th of October.
