The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute accepts six undergraduate and two graduate students with a demonstrated interest in Women’s Studies, Jewish Women’s Studies, or topics related to Jewish women/Jewish gender issues around the world to participate in our residential internship program. Applications are accepted from students attending universities in the US and abroad.
Undergraduate Interns:
--Work 35 hours per week, Monday-Friday
--Produce under staff supervision, an original piece of scholarly or creative work focusing on Jewish women and/or gender issues
--Work closely with HBI and Brandeis staff and scholars on new and established research projects
--Learn about the daily operations of an academic research institute by occasionally assisting with administrative tasks
--Visit local institutions and organizations of Jewish interest
--Meet local community activists
--Live on the Brandeis campus in subsidized housing
Similar in structure to the undergraduate program, the graduate student interns assist HBI-affiliated scholars as well as work on their own research projects. Graduate student interns work closely with their supervisors, who also act as their academic advisors. While not a requirement, the ideal candidates are working towards a degree in an area of study related to the supervisors’ expertise. All field trips and extracurricular activities are optional for the graduate student interns.
