About the role:
We pride ourselves on providing Interns with an opportunity to make a significant impact from day one. As an Intern you will gain extensive hands-on experience of working at an economic consultancy. You will also contribute to cases in a variety of ways, working closely with senior staff to understand the issues that face the client, relating those issues to relevant economic theory, and supporting the analysis with solid and persuasive empirical evidence.
In collaboration with colleagues across Europe, you will work on projects in the Nordic countries and beyond, including the opportunity to contribute to large high-profile international cases.
Interns typically join us full-time for 8-12 weeks. We are flexible and welcome applications for internships during any period, including semester-long internships (4-5 months). Please indicate in your cover letter when you would be available to start your internship and for how long you would be interested in working.
For those applying whilst completing their Bachelor's degree, please note that our Intern candidates are usually hired in their final year. We would consider only exceptional second-year students. If you are in your second year and unsuccessful in your application, we would encourage you to apply again next year.
Applications for a 2025 start close on 31 March 2025. Interviews will be held on a rolling basis, but candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
