Call for candidates – Think Tank Young Professional Development Program

A great opportunity for recent graduates of MA and PhD programs in the social sciences and humanities to gain first-hand experience in BCSP`s policy-relevant research, analysis, and advocacy.

Think Tank Young Professional Development Program is designed to benefit both young “returning” professionals and their host organizations. It enables participating think tanks, such as BCSP, to recruit young researchers originally from the region who recently graduated from universities in the OECD countries, including the Central European University in Hungary.

The program will last up to six months and start from December 2013. Throughout this period, the selected young professional will work full-time at the BCSP’s office, engage in ongoing policy research projects and develop concrete policy product in agreement with senior policy staff, who will be considered the mentor. This commitment resembles a full-time paid internship. These six months will also be used to fundraise for other funds and, if possible, make the position permanent.

Three possible policy research areas that BCSP would like a recent graduate to work on are:

1. Accountability and integrity in security sector – focus on corruption risks
2. Diversity (gender, minorities, Roma) in security sector and respect
3. EU Liberty, Security and Justice policies (data protection, organized crime, 
corruption, police cooperation)

How to apply with BCSP

In order to apply candidates should submit:

1. résumé,

2. cover letter and

3. copy of the written product (policy analysis, essay).

Deadline is September 22.

All aplications and additional questions should be sent by email to office@bezbednost.org

The candidate needs to demonstrate:

– a strong interest in security studies, international relations or gender issues;
– basic research skills and readiness to carry out policy-oriented research;
– excellent knowledge of English language and computer literacy.
