GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
The Research and Publications Division of the International Organization for
Migration (IOM), headquartered in Geneva, is seeking a number of highly
motivated individuals to undertake short-term internships, producing research
and written material on a number of migration-related topics.
Current priorities for research include:
- Migration and development
- Data on international migration
- The links between internal and international migration
- The migration effects of the tsunami
- Trafficking in persons
- Global database of migration policies
- Migration policy in China
- Future of migration in Brazil.
The ideal candidate will be studying for (or have recently completed) a post-
graduate degree in social or political sciences, and have a particular interest
in and knowledge of the complex issues associated with international migration.
He/she will be capable of conducting independent research, as well as
supporting the work of other colleagues in headquarters and overseas missions.
Desirable qualifications:
- University degree in social or political sciences, or related area
- Excellent drafting skills in English
- Strong oral and written communication skills
- Good organisational skills
- Ability to work effectively and harmoniously with colleagues from varied
cultures and professional backgrounds

The duration of the internship is flexible and can last from 8 weeks to a
maximum of 6 months. Internships are non-remunerated, voluntary assignments.
IOM will grant to interns a Monthly Sustenance Allowance (MSA) as partial
contribution to accommodation and living expenses. MSA does not apply for
interns who receive stipends from their University, or other sources. The MSA
for internships in Geneva ranges from CHF 1,096 to CHF 1,395 for Masters Degree
(depending if recruited in or outside Geneva) and from CHF 1395 to CHF 1694
for PhD holders (same as above).
This amount will likely not accommodate all the expenses incurred by the
intern. Thus, all remaining costs, including travel, accommodation, and living
expenses, must be covered by the intern or the sponsoring institution.
Interested candidates should submit a completed IOM personal history form or
their curriculum vitae, along with a letter of motivation, indicating any
previous migration-related research, and particular areas of interest, by email
