Internship with International Organization for Migration, Vienna

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Technical
Cooperation Centre has an opening for an intern to assist with
compiling information on best international practices in migration
management and disseminating such information to IOM field offices in
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.  The Intern will also
assist in finalizing and updating a glossary of migration
terminology, which will eventually be translated into Russian and
perhaps other languages.  Other potential intern projects include
collecting and compiling information on illegal migration to and
through the former Soviet Union, and assisting with various IOM
reports, both for internal use and for publication.

The ideal candidate will be available beginning in February for a
period of 3-4 months, but this is negotiable.  Intern compensation is
determined under guidelines issued by IOM Headquarters in Geneva, and
ranges from 500 to 1300 Swiss Francs per month, depending upon
education level and whether the intern comes from outside the local
commuting area.

A university degree is required, with preference to a person with a
graduate level degree in law or public administration.  Experience in
border control or other law enforcement- related area also a plus.

Required skills:
	--fluent written and spoken English language ability
	--proficient use of Microsoft Word
	--proficient research abilities using the Internet
	--strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well 
		with persons from other cultures
	--at least a working knowledge of the Russian language

Applications are invited from persons from all countries (temporary
work status in Vienna can be arranged by IOM).  To be considered for
this position, send a cover letter, your curriculum vitae, and the
names and phone numbers for three references to:

		IOM Technical Cooperation Centre
		Attn:  Lisa Batey
		Nibelungengasse 13/4
		A-1010 Vienna
		Austria

		or via e-mail to [email protected]

No phone calls, please.  Review of applications will begin the week
of January 3.  Thereafter, a handful of top candidates will be
contacted for telephone interview and further consideration.
