European Union Institute for Security Studies Traineeships

From October 2020, the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) is seeking to recruit six trainees to assist in its research, event organisation and outreach activities. This will provide an opportunity for selected candidates to build research skills; develop experience working in an Agency of the European Union; gain exposure to policy-oriented research; and deepen their understanding of EU foreign and security policy mechanisms and priorities. The traineeship promises to be an interesting and rewarding opportunity for career and personal development. Throughout the traineeship, trainees will closely work with a designated member of the Institute’s management or research team (the Director and the Deputy Director, a Senior Analyst, or the Brussels Executive Officer and the Security and Defence Editor for the trainees based in Brussels). On an ad hoc basis, trainees will also be expected to work with other Analysts within the research team and assist them on particular projects.

Four trainees will be based at the EUISS Paris Headquarters and two trainees will be based at the Brussels Liaison Office.
