Call for LGI Research Interns
Fall-Winter 2003-2004

LGI is currently accepting applications for its research internship
program. Interns will work on a voluntary basis at the LGI office
(located in the Budapest headquarters of the Open Society Institute) in
a diverse, challenging and exciting environment on various topics
related to local public policy development, decentralization, public
service reform, and multiethnic community management. Interns will
contribute to LGI research and publications and participate in a variety
of projects addressing Eurasia and beyond. The internship cycle will
last for a period of four to six months, depending on the availability
of selected applicants.

The next deadline for submitting an application is May 15, 2003. The
internship cycle will begin on September 1, 2003 and last until February
28, 2004.

Qualifications:
Interns must have excellent writing, research and communication skills
and must hold at least a BA degree (MA desirable) in an area related to
public policy or political science. Interns should be knowledgeable
about the Eastern European region, Southeastern Europe or Central Asia,
able to work independently and computer literate. Familiarity with
online research and a commitment to working in the region is a bonus.
As the official language of LGI/OSI is English, excellent English
written and oral skills are essential.

Application Process:

All applications should be submitted via email to Petra Kovacs at
kovacsp@o... and must include the following materials:
* Resume
* Cover letter explaining the applicant's qualifications and motivation
in applying for the internship.
* The names and contact information (e-mail and telephone numbers) of
two references familiar with your academic or written work.
* An English language writing sample (e.g. publication) no longer than 5
pages in length.

The deadline for applications for the Fall-Winter 2003/4 internship is
May 15, 2003. Shortlisted applicants will be notified by June 1, 2003
and will be expected to begin working in Budapest by September 1.

LGI is unfortunately unable to provide compensation for its interns, and
encourages prospective applicants to seek outside sources of funding.
