Copyright Evidence Project Seeking Paid Interns
Copyright Evidence, a project run by the CREATe Centre at the University of Glasgow, is in the process of developing a Wiki catalogue of empirical studies related to copyright and intellectual property issues. The project is seeking Interns to contribute to the development of this resource, particularly in its policy impact. Interns’ primary role will be the analysis of the platform and evidence sources with a focus on evidence-based policy implications and impact, together with the enhancement of the project with new catalogue entries.
Work will be hourly paid with flexibility in the allocation of workload and tasks to facilitate interns. Participants will enjoy further benefits, gaining experience in conducting applied social science research and an opportunity to collaborate with experienced researchers. Interns will also have the opportunity to attend activities organized by CREATe, such as lectures and reading groups at the University of Glasgow, gaining further knowledge and experience related to academic research.
The work is expected to commence as soon as possible and at the latest by February 2016. Complete applications sent by January 8, 2016 will be treated favourably. Typically, interns will be expected to work for approximately 12 to 15 hours per week for four months initially, with the possibility of extension for another four-month period. Because the Wiki catalogue software is accessible online, interns can work from home or anywhere else with an Internet connection.
We welcome applications from students and early career researchers from all disciplines. Policy-related working experience is desired, and we will consider secondments. Interns will be expected to engage with copyright policy issues and social science methods. There is a particular interest in quantitative expertise in the team, but we will consider a mix of skills. Applicants with prior experience related to policy/government reports on copyright, such as the ones written by the Intellectual Property Office and the European Commission, will be treated favourably.
To apply, please forward one document with: (i) your CV, (ii) a short statement of interest describing in no more than 100 words how your interests relate to copyright evidence and policy, and (iii) an indication of your availability/schedule to contact@create.ac.uk (the subject title of your email should be: “Copyright Evidence Interns”).
If you have any questions about this opportunity, please feel free to contact Dr Theodore Koutmeridis: Theodore.Koutmeridis@glasgow.ac.uk
