New volunteer positions/internships available at BankTrack from September 2022
BankTrack is offering volunteer positions and internships* for the second half of 2022, starting 1 September 2022 and running until 31 December 2022. These positions can be online, e.g. working from your own home, or partly online and partly in our Nijmegen office if you live close enough (and assuming the corona situation allows atthat time).
We are seeking committed volunteers and/or interns that can join one of our four campaign teams (on climate, human rights, nature and pandemics) and assist with our ongoing campaign work. Specifically we seek volunteers that are keen to:
- create and/or maintainprofiles of Dodgy Deals;
- create and/or maintain profiles of banks;
- assist in assessing bank policies, such as policies on fossil fule financing
- assist in data collection and processing for our ongoing research;
- help maintain and expand our mailing lists and other outreach tools;
- keep up our social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, and;
- support our ongoing other campaign efforts with the skills and creativity you possess.
We may also be able to accommodate your own ideas for an internship research project, assuming it is strictly focused on commercial banks and it fits our organisational goals and objectives.
To ensure that the position is interesting for both you and us, we seek applicants that can make a minimum commitment of either 4 months, for 3 or 4 days per week, or 3 months for 4 days per week. Please refrain from applying if you cannot commit to this.
In return we offer:
- an interesting and challenging work experience in a globally renowned organisation that knows how to make a difference to the banking sector;
- as part of a team that has learned to operate effectively and productively online;
- the possibility to develop numerous organisational skills;
- proper training and supervision, and;
- a modest volunteer/internship payment (interns 240 euro per month, volunteers €180 per month, on 24/32 hpw basis).
Deadline for applying is 15 June 2022.
For matching with a WUR internship supervisor, students can contact Prof. Dr. Otto Hospes, Public Administration and Policy Group, Wageningen University, otto.hospes@wur.nl.
You can apply for our positions by filling in this form. The deadline for applications for this round is June 15, 2022. Interviews will be held in the week of June 20, 2022.
