Ana María Salamero Sanz, NIS intern 2013-2014. NIS is a Norwegian-registered, non-profit and non-governmental foundation engaged in stabilisation and reconciliation initiatives in conflict and post-conflict areas. Established in 2011, NIS is a fast-growing organisation, headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Our field-based interventions support a pragmatic approach to capacity constraints through the delivery of prioritised services and infrastructure in targeted areas. Our internship programme is located at headquarter level in Oslo, and is designed to allow interns to contribute to NIS’ work on themes relevant to the intern’s own thesis. The tasks are aimed to contribute to interns gaining insight into NIS and its operations, and to interns developing their knowledge, expertise and skills. Interns will enjoy our office facilities and benefit from our knowledgeable and experienced staff and our vast network. Additionally, there will be opportunities for interns to come up with ideas and contribute to NIS’ work and projects together with the NIS team. Applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate programme and be based in Oslo. Applicants must have good oral and written English skills, while other languages are an asset. Other than that, we expect our interns to be highly independent.
