Job opportunities at Civic Consulting
We are currently offering the following positions:
Research fellows – analyzing EU policy from a consumer/citizen perspective
If you are a young European professional interested in analyzing EU policy from a consumer/citizen perspective, and would like to be considered for a three-month research fellowship at Civic Consulting’s office in Berlin, then send in a 4-7 page article in line with academic standards on one of the following topics, in English, together with a CV and covering letter:
- Do market practices of telecommunication services providers lead to consumer detriment, and what can EU policy makers do about it?
- Good governance of food crises – has the EU learned the lessons from BSE to better protect consumers from emerging food chain risks?
- Are measures taken by Schengen Member States sufficient to prevent child trafficking?
Civic Consulting is an economic and public policy consultancy supporting European and international institutions through policy evaluation, economic and legal research, market studies, and impact assessment, with special expertise in the areas of consumer policy, financial services, food chain issues, animal health/welfare and general issues of good governance/civil society development (for more details, see our project references).
Winners of the fellowship will receive an award of 5,000 Euro to cover accommodation and other expenses.
Fellows will contribute to ongoing EU 27 studies of Civic Consulting.
Applicants should have at least one to two years professional experience after graduation in economics, law, political sciences or other relevant subjects. Previous work experience in a consultancy or European/international institution would be an advantage, as well as extensive writing experience in an academic or journalistic context. We expect genuine and documented interest in economic and legal research at EU and national level and a willingness to understand and analyse complex issues from a consumer/citizen perspective. Further requirements are: experience in design and use of quantitative and qualitative research tools (such as survey questionnaires, guidelines for expert interview), proficiency of Word, Excel and possibly SPSS, excellent knowledge of English at the level of a native speaker, and EU residency/work permit. Knowledge of German, French, Spanish or other EU languages are not required but would be an asset
