The New Economic School (www.nes.ru/en/home), located in Moscow, Russia, invites applications for semester-long internships beginning Fall of 2013. Undergraduates are invited to apply starting their junior year.

WHY NES?

NES was established as a Russian-Western educational partnership intended to promote international standards of education to the best Russian students. And it has succeeded: RePEc ranks us as the best economics institution in any post communist country, and NES is home to CEFIR, a top-tier economics think tank recognized worldwide. As an internationally-oriented university, NES provides a productive and accessible atmosphere for Americans interested in working with a prestigious economics institute or studying Russian. Besides work, we offer a variety of benefits: enrollment in a Russian language course at the Higher School of Economics (HSE) or in one of the or NES MA-level courses; participation in all NES student events; a free roundtrip ticket from the United States; and a fellowship that covers living expenses in Moscow. We also offer a multiple-entry visa and free housing in a dormitory with NES students. The minimum workload will be around four hours a day. Each selected applicant will be fitted with a customized internship catering to his or her personal and professional skills and goals.

Summer 2013 Undergraduate Internships

During the summer of 2013, the Center will support six undergraduate interns. These 14-hour-per-week positions will provide undergraduates with experience in the nature and operations of a major humanities research center. Students will be paid hourly and receive approximately $1,500 for the summer, contingent on hours actually worked. The Creekmore and Adele Fath Charitable Foundation has provided generous funding for these internships. For more details and the application process, go to: http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/about/internships/undergraduate/

The Liberal Arts Honors Program offers an internship at the Harry Ransom Center (http://www.hrc.utexas.edu) that is designed to provide a current LAH student with experience in the nature and operation of a major humanities research center. The experience gained by interns will benefit them in their own research projects, in possible graduate studies, and even as a career option in such fields as librarianship, museum studies, archival or curatorial work, as well as public affairs, marketing, public programming and event management.

Once selected, interns will choose from a variety of opportunities within the center. These vary from year to year, but will likely include:

• processing collections
• preserving collection materials
• planning exhibitions
• doing editorial and publicity work
• working on website enhancement projects
• marketing and public affairs

The internship will be for the entire academic year (fall and spring semester). Interns are asked to commit to a particular department for at least one full semester. Most interns work in a single department the entire year, but some choose to change at semester break. Internships run for three months in the fall: September, October, and November; and three in the spring: February, March, and April.  Thus, the internship will end each semester before finals begin.

The position is not a benefits-eligible one, but there is a stipend of $1500 per semester, for which the intern is expected to put in a 10-hour work week. The student must be registered for a minimum of six hours of coursework. In addition there is the possibility of academic credit if the student registers for a conference course (either TC or English) with an appropriate supervising professor.

Applying

An applicant should provide the following:

• a one-page resumé,
• a letter from the student describing his/her interest and qualifications,
• a letter of recommendation from a UT faculty member or someone who knows the candidate’s professional qualification pertinent to this internship

Both letters should be addressed to Danielle Sigler, Curator of Academic Affairs, but should be attached to the resumé and delivered to the LAH office.

Deadline for applications is April 1, 2013.
