Internship and Opportunities

The Heinrich Böll Stiftung Regional Office for Southeast Asia offers internship possibilities for young academics and practitioners to gain insights into the practical aspects of the work of a German political foundation in an international context.

Are you interested to engage in a multicultural context with a particular focus on Thai and Southeast Asian culture and society? Would you like to gain knowledge on programmatic and administrative planning and implementation processes? Are you an advanced level student in a related thematic field of international relations, foreign policy, gender-democracy or environment?

Become part of a cohort of more than 50 young women and men who have joined our team in Bangkok for an internship, many of whom  are affiliated with the foundation until today.

We are encouraging applications from persons of diverse backgrounds and genders, especially with a demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion as our core priorities as the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Criteria for application (please read carefully):

Internships are offered to recent Bachelor graduates and Master students only. A good working knowledge of English is required - in addition German or Thai language is an asset. The duration of the internship MUST BE AT LEAST FOR A DURATION OF 3 MONTHS full time (40 hours/week).

Interested candidates are requested to email in English language a complete set of the following:

• PDF versions of a CV/ resume AND
• a letter of motivation, clearly mentioning duration of availability and clearly indicating a field of interest related to our work as well as an idea for a small project to be carried out during the internship.
• Email to be sent ONLY to: Mr. Fransiskus Tarmedi - fransiskus.tarmedi <at> th.boell.org

Please note that we do not have the capacity to process incomplete applications, applications in German language or applications that are sent to any other Email addresses and that only selected candidates will be contacted by us.

At the moment, we are only able to accommodate applicants who have legal permission to stay in Thailand, i.e. the possibility for applying for a non curricular (B4) or a curricular (ED6) internship visa for the duration of the internship.

For further information on related visa criteria please refer to the consular websites of the Government of Thailand accordingly BEFORE sending us your applications.
