We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic, inquisitive (former) student with knowledge of and a demonstrated interest in internet culture, net-critique and/or digital publishing. As the INC has an international scope, active English skills are required, in speaking and writing. In addition, you have strong writing and communication skills and an interest in web applications and digital publishing software. You balance a desire to learn, take initiative and suggest better practices and take constructive feedback. A background in (graphic or interaction) design, art (history), cultural studies, or media studies is an advantage. In most cases the internship will be conducted after finishing an BA, MA or PhD.
Monthly compensation: € 500.
For further information, you can contact info[at]networkcultures[dot]org or send a CV and motivation letter to the same email address.
In this case there is no strict deadline for this application. However, due to the housing crisis in Amsterdam and the Netherlands plus possible visa applications it may be necessary to start making arrangements early, already in October/November. The starting and closing dates can be a bit flexible. The overall period will be at least four and maximum six months with a possibility to extend the stay.
