++FSFE is a charity dedicated to empowering users to control technology. +We are working to build freedom in digital society. We operate in a lively +environment with volunteers from many countries. We are looking for +students who can join our team in Berlin for three months as a mandatory +part of their studies or before graduation.
+ ++What we can offer is: +
+What you'll do: +
+Be sure to read our pages about internships +in general before applying! +
+ ++Location: Berlin, Germany. Please note the FSFE has no ability to help +with accommodation or travel, you will need to cover this yourself and +arrange this prior to your internship.
+ +Duration: 3 months full time at 35 hours per week, starting as agreed.
+ +Compensation: This internship is salaried with a basic salary of €450 per month.
+ ++You should have some experience or a considerable interest in Free Software. +Your field of study doesn't matter, but you should be able to relate it to +our work. Traditionally, a lot of interns in the FSFE have a legal or +political science background, but we've also had interns working with us +with a more technical or other social science background. +
+ ++You must be fluent in English and will be required to show that you +can legally work in Germany; either by being an EU citizen, or +by having a residence and work permit for the duration. The FSFE +can not help you in getting either of these documents, but we will +accept them if you have them (for instance because you are studying +in Germany and are allowed to work). +
++You must also have a German tax number which you get by registering +with the residents registration office (Einwohnermeldeamt) in Germany. +This should ideally be done before starting the internship, or at +latest on the first days of your internship. +
+ ++There is no fixed application deadline for these positions. We accept +interns regularly throughout the year, but to facilitate with our planning +and to increase the chances of us being able to accommodate you for an +internship, you should ideally send your application at least six months +before your intended starting date. +
+ ++Send your application containing a letter of motivation, a CV by e-mail +to office@fsfe.org. Please make sure to write clearly you apply for +the internship position with reference SI-2017. We prefer to receive +your documents in PDF format. +
+ ++If you have any questions about the position or any administrative +details in connection with it, you're welcome to contact: +
++
+Both will be reading and responding if you send your question to the +contact@fsfe.org address. We look forward to reading your application! +
