The Quality of Government Institute (QoG) at the University of Gothenburg offers internships for highly motivated Master's students interested in Quality of Government as a research area. This internship provides an opportunity to experience academic work in an international environment, collaborate on research projects, work with various researchers, and participate in seminars and events at the QoG Institute and the Department of Political Science. It offers valuable experience, especially for those considering an academic career. There are typically 2-3 positions available, including General Research and Data Internships.
