Internships with GRAMNet
GRAMNet receives regular applications for volunteer, intern or student placements. Some of these are connected to courses and others are part of externally funded programmes. GRAMNet welcomes such applications and seeks to determine where there is capacity to support a placement and where the placement might best be located given the range of possible activities. It is not always possible to place all applicants, however.
Some placements/ interns/ volunteers work with existing projects within the network. For example at present we have an intern working with our COLSA Knowledge Exchange project, a student placement on migration, faith and sectarianism. Other placements have been directly with the GRAMNet administrator developing, for example, events, bulletins and Refugee Week strands.
In addition, through the Equality and Diversity Unit and with the support of Bridges Programmes the University has developed a Work Shadowing Scheme for asylum seekers and refugees (for more information please contact the Equality and Diversity Unit).
In some instances we may suggest the placement is better connected to the work of our partner organisations or other research networks in the University. We will liaise with those concerned to determine possible projects.
Unless otherwise advertised, GRAMNet does not have funds to support interns/placements/volunteers.
To apply for an Internship, please send a 2 page CV that demonstrates your academic pathway and a covering letter that describes how you would use the Internship and identifies the areas or projects which best fit with your interests. Your CV should be sent to gramadmin@glasgow.ac.uk in the first instance.
