*Paid Internships at the FRA: statistics and quantitative surveys*

*Deadline for applications : 17 February 2012, 13:00 Central European
Time. *

The *European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA)* offers
internships that aim at providing interns with an understanding of the
objectives and activities of the Agency, practical experience and
knowledge of the day-to-day work of the FRA, an opportunity to put their
learning into practice and to contribute to the Agency's mission.
In particular, the Freedoms and Justice Department at the FRA is looking
for trainees who would be interested in assisting the department’s
Statistics and Surveys Team. The duties of the team include all stages
of research and survey activities related to the development of
large-scale surveys and the analysis of datasets; such as the
development of survey instruments and databases, data analysis, report
writing, and analysis of secondary source datasets.

The Team is currently engaged, at various stages, in four large-scale,
cross-national surveys that the Agency has commissioned – which would
provide suitable interns with valuable practical experience in
international survey research and data analysis.
The team would therefore welcome candidates with a background in
statistics or social sciences who are able to meet most of the following
criteria:

- Experience with using quantitative data analysis software, such as
SPSS, STATA and/or Excel;
- Experience with the analysis of quantitative datasets for social research;
- Knowledge or skills in development and verification of databases;
- Knowledge and skills in descriptive analysis of the data (descriptive
statistics);
- Knowledge or skills in advanced statistics;
- Experience in visual presentation of the survey data (e.g. pictures,
graphs);
- Ability to write to a very high standard in English, and to write in
an easy to understand way;
