Role details
Each year the EUI Library recruits a remunerated multimedia trainee. We are a small vibrant academic library catering to the research needs of EUI Professors, Fellows and PhD Researchers in the Social Sciences.
The successful candidate has the chance to develop their skills in this environment, by producing videos and graphic material for the Library's online platforms, ranging from promotional videos to tutorials and more. This is an excellent opportunity for someone to gain experience in developing small projects and be creative inside an academic environment, and more specifically in a research library.
