Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)

About Us
SEI is an international non-profit research and policy organization that tackles environment and development challenges.
SEI connects science and decision-making to develop solutions for a sustainable future for all.
Its work spans climate, water, air and land-use issues, governance, the economy, gender and health. Stakeholder involvement is at the heart of our efforts to build capacity, strengthen institutions and equip partners for long-term change.
Its knowledge and findings are accessible to decision-makers and civil society: as its own open access material, in leading academic journals, and repackaged for effective decision support.
To promote debate and share knowledge SEI convenes decision-makers, academics and practitioners and engages with policy processes, development action and business practice worldwide.

SEI is:
● International: SEI has offices in five continents and works locally, regionally and globally.
● Trusted: decision-makers and the academic community recognize us as an independent and non-partisan institute.
● Credible: our research is objective and supported by rigorous peer review.
● Relevant: its work makes connections across the natural, physical and social sciences, allowing SEI to take new angles and offer robust, insightful policy advice.
Internship Tasks:

SEI HQ currently offers five internship opportunities from August 2022–January 2023:
● Energy and Industry Transitions Team
● Environmental Policy and Strategy team
● Global Subnational Agricultural Production Platform
● integrating climate and sanitation planning
● International Climate Risk and Adaptation team

Some internship positions of the above work are remote internships (not all), and it depends on the arrangement of the international organization.

Requirements:
It aims to attract the most competent and skilled students with the appropriate experience for SEI’s needs. SEI HQ recruitments are based on respect for the individual no matter of gender, gender identity or expression, age, union representation or political opinion, functional variation, sexual orientation, religion or ethic orientation, nationality, marital or parental status.

While internships are generally open to all students, priority is given to matriculated university students for whom an internship is either part of their curriculum or a thesis project. Priority is also given to students from universities with whom SEI has collaboration agreements. It welcomes applications from those that have specific interests that are of relevance to the work of SEI. In general, it expects candidates to have some prior knowledge of the research area in which they will be working. The internship may, for example, include the writing of a master’s thesis.

Internship period
SEI offers two internship periods per year: January–June and August–January, in alignment with the Swedish academic year. The application period for the spring semester takes place in October–November the previous year and April–May for the autumn semester the same year.
SEI does not offer any internships during the summer months.
