Internship for communications and outreach

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) is looking
for an intern to join its outreach and communication activities for a
period of at least 4 months between January and June 2011.

As an intern you will have the opportunity to work closely with the SIPRI
communications and editorial team during an exciting period. During the
period of the internship, SIPRI will be preparing its renowned Yearbook
and will release its key data sets on international arms transfers, arms
production and worldwide military expenditure. These media launches
traditionally attract wide international media coverage.

You will help to assemble and develop the contents of the Yearbook,
prepare background media material, draft press releases, follow up with
journalists, facilitate interviews, help make media material available
through the webside and facebook, help setting up launch events, help
monitor media coverage and more.

As a candidate ideally:

* you have a background in or are studying communications or public
relations [or publishing?]

* you have a rough understanding of international relations and
security issues
* you have a strong interest in communication, outreach activities and
enjoy talking to journalists
* you are organized, reliable, taking initiative, independent and
enthusiastic about the tasks
* you have some basic knowledge of website content management systems
and a basic understanding of social forums such as Facebook and
YouTube
* you have good language skills, English is a prerequisite, Spanish
highly advantageous, Swedish useful

SIPRI cannot not pay for housing, travel or any other expenses and does
not pay interns a salary. Applicants should indicate in their applications
that they can provide their own funding to cover all their costs in
Sweden. However, we can offer a highly stimulating working environment and
a truly international experience with relevant topics and advanced media
work.

Send an email with your CV to Stephanie Blenckner, SIPRI's Communications
Director, email: blenckner@sipri.org.

Starting time: According to agreement, as soon as possible during January.
