From 16 September 2025 until 15 July 2026, the Institute seeks to recruit nine trainees to assist in its research, event organisation and outreach activities. Seven trainees will be based at EUISS Paris Headquarters, and two trainees will be based at the EUISS Brussels Liaison Office.
The EUISS traineeships provide a unique opportunity for university graduates and young professionals to build research skills, develop experience working in an EU agency, gain exposure to policy-oriented research, and deepen their understanding of EU foreign and security policy mechanisms and priorities. The EUISS traineeships promises to be an interesting and rewarding programme for career and personal development.
Throughout their EUISS traineeships, trainees work closely with a designated member of the Institute’s analyst team who will act as their mentor and supervisor. Trainees will also be asked to contribute to other analyst portfolios or to whole-of-institute projects as the need arises. Applicants are encouraged to explore analyst profiles on the EUISS website and to think about which areas they would like to assist in addition to the selected portfolio.
