Are you a Lund University student with an interest in the Middle East region? The Centre for Advanced Middle East Studies (CMES) offers internships in several projects during the spring semester of 2025.
Who We Are
CMES supports, coordinates and expands interdisciplinary research on the Middle East at Lund University. Our researchers are experts in topics ranging from environmental sustainability and democracy to peacebuilding and religion. Every semester, we host research seminars, public lectures, book talks, and more - always with the Middle East in focus.
Research on the Middle East and Semitic languages has existed at Lund since it was founded in 1666. Over the last three decades, research on the region has developed significantly within the faculties of Social Science, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Engineering, and is now a priority of the university administration. Most of the research at CMES is situated within the Strategic Research Area “The Middle East in the Contemporary World” (MECW), which is funded by the Swedish Research Council.
About the Internships
The internships at CMES will run between 1 April and 30 June 2025, or as per agreement. You will work in one of the following CMES projects:
ECO-Syria: Exploring Conflict-Environment Interactions for Sustainable Development and Conservation
Frictional Homebuilding: Swedish Civil Society Actors in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
Research Data Infrastructure on MENA
Please specify in your application which project(s) you are interested in. There will be a maximum of 2 interns in each project.
All positions are temporary, unpaid and part-time. You can only apply if you are a registered student at Lund University for the duration of the internship.

Application deadline is 15 March 2025.
