Fall 2012 LLILAS Research Assistants wanted
The Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, a multidisciplinary institute that integrates several centers and programs devoted to promote interest in the region, is the oldest Latin American Studies program in the United States and one of the best worldwide.
LLILAS has an unpaid internship program designed to provide UT students with the opportunity to gain professional experience by learning about the work of multiple programs within LLILAS or to develop research skills by working with some of our most distinguished Latin Americanist faculty. Our institute is a very vibrant and fast-paced environment where students will have the opportunity to interact with foreign students, visiting Latin American professors, government officials, politicians, and private sector representatives.
The internship is open to undergraduate students enrolled in any UT college or school who may be interested in pursuing graduate degrees or working on Latin American issues. The students will be recruited for Fall 2012. Interns must be available to work about 6-10 hours a week during the semester.
We have several positions available and we would like to encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
Please visit our webpage, read testimonials from previous interns and apply no later than August 30, 2012:
