Academic Research

We're wrapping up a five-year project on Democracy and Autocratization in Indonesia and Turkey and are currently publishing the results of our research and writing grant proposals for further research.

In our research group, we have been focusing on analyzing and publishing findings from our past few years of research. We have conducted interviews and literature research on religious authorities, democracy, and education in Indonesia and Turkey and now turn our findings into publications.
Interns will learn about how academia works, how different disciplines tick, what criteria are relevant for publishing, and how to edit manuscripts in publishable ways. They will also get insights into academic fundraising and into handling different projects and demands at the same time.

Interns usually comment on and co-edit manuscript drafts and occasionally help with desk research.

Advanced undergraduate students (from second year) 
Master's students 
Ph.D. students 

Very good communication skills, and the ability and willingness to self-organize.
Interns should be very good in communication and be reliable.

We will be a very small team in 2025, so we are best suited for interns who like a relatively quiet working environment.

Reading some of our publications on our website will be a helpful preparation.
