• Hands-on involvement in the project's research (compiling bibliographies, tracking down published and archival sources, helping build the project's source database).
• Helping organize the project's academic activities – workshops and conferences, invitations to visiting speakers, travel and scheduling – together with the project's head.
• Supporting the institute with organizational and administrative tasks in the secretariat and providing organizational support for events and activities hosted by the institute.

Your profile

• You are enrolled at the University of Basel, in a master's programme or in the later stages of a bachelor's degree.
• You are interested in the work and specializations of the Europainstitut / Institute for European Global Studies, especially history and interdisciplinary research on Europe in a global context.
• You are organized, proactive, and reliable, and you enjoy working as part of a team. Experience with administrative and organizational tasks, especially around events, is an advantage.
• You are comfortable working with spreadsheets and with reference management software such as Zotero, or willing to learn. Basic skills in image editing and layout (e.g., Photoshop, InDesign) are a plus, but not a requirement.
• You have very good written and spoken English and good German. A good reading knowledge of French is an advantage, given the project's French-language sources.
