Academic Researcher
Academic Interns or Researchers
We are always looking for Academic Interns or Researchers at Global People Transitions. On a Mission to Bring the Human Touch Back into Global Mobility, we still have much to do, and our founder Angie Weinberger never runs out of new ideas. Angie Weinberger believes in maintaining academic standards and our team challenges bias and we need to keep up-to-date with research in our multi-disciplinary fields (which is Rocket Science according the Inge Nitsche, CEO of Expatise Academy).
We always offer a six months research internship at Global People Transitions. As a researcher, you work within a small global, virtual team. We need academic support to assert the scientific background behind our coaching methodology and manage projects requiring academic research and presentation preparation skills. The internship can be combined with a university project or a thesis. In that case, Angie Weinberger would be your secondary thesis supervisor.
