Employment
RAND Europe staff come from backgrounds in a wide range of disciplines, including economics, psychology, public administration, operations research and spatial planning. This broad combination of disciplines allows RAND Europe to provide its clients with multidisciplinary teams and innovative approaches, characterised by considerable methodological and technical depth. Policy relevance is assured by RAND Europe staff's experience in government, the private sector and the academic world. In this regard as well as with regard to disciplines, our research teams are composed of people who span this range of experience.
RAND Europe's own knowledge and experience is frequently augmented by co-operation with U.S.-based RAND staff, as well as with individuals and organisations throughout Europe. The value of this approach is shown in its results — RAND Europe research has contributed to important policy decisions in many sectors of national, supra-national and regional government, as well as the private sector. The wide range of topics and central position in the policy-making environment make RAND Europe an employer with excellent career opportunities for the person who is interested in addressing in a practical way the intellectual challenges of today's world.
Current Job Opportunities
Internships
We have a limited capacity to take in highly talented interns for work experience in policy research relevant to one of our programme areas during the summer months. Interns normally join us during the university summer vacation and applicants should be educated to at least degree level.
If you are interested, please contact us by email at recruitment@rand.org by 1st May each year to be considered for a summer internship. Occasionally we are able to consider applications for work at other times of the year but this will tend to be much more limited and applications can be made throughout the year. Your application should include an up-to-date CV and a covering letter explaining why you would like to work with RAND Europe.
Please be aware that you will need to have the right to work within the UK and that due to limited administrative capacity unsuccessful applications cannot always be answered.
