We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic people to strengthen our research and production team!

Candidates should bring:

• commitment to the field of work of Archis and Volume magazine
• fluency in English and or Dutch
• capability of working independently and ‘carry’ a theme.

You’ll get:

• ‘behind the scenes’ insight of editorial research and production and publishing
• exchange with and feedback from the small and dedicated Archis team
• access to the wide Archis and Volume network

Archis is a foundation with 3 basic sections: Publishers (Volume, Beyroutes, e.g.), Interventions (workshops e.g.) and Tools (lectures, debates, e.g.). Volume is an English thematic quarterly magazine, dedicated to the potential of architecture in its broadest sense. We are specifically looking for interns on the following themes.

Architecture of Peace
For our long term (2 years) project consisting of two issues of Volume, two exhibitions and several (online) debates and forums we are looking for interns on several aspects of the project from research to production to publicity.
Period: from January 2011 to February 2012 for a minimum of three months and two days a week.

Aging
The upcoming issue of Volume deals with several aspects of Aging: like demography (aging of populations), technology (aging of matter) and politics (aging of ideology). The issue will be released in March 2011. We are looking for someone to help with the research and production but also with the ‘afterlife’ of the issue once it’s out by actively searching for relevant platforms (virtually or physically) to continue the debate.
Period: January 2011 – April 2011.

Internet of Things
The summer issue of 2011 will be dedicated to the Internet of Things. The issue will be about ways to go beyond the gadget and application mode. We are looking for someone to help with research and production but also with the ‘afterlife’ of the issue once it’s out by actively searching for relevant platforms (virtually or physically) to continue the debate.
Period: March 2011 – July 2011.

Video postproduction
We are looking for people with video editing skills to create ‘digestible’ video/audio material for the websites, vodcast or other use. We have raw material from launches of Volume issues, debates and research trips. Most pressing to tackle is the video capture of our Tehran research trip. The Tehran research (in collaboration with the TU Delft and the NAI) will result in an alternative travel guide to Tehran to be published late 2011.
Period: January 2011 – July 2011.

We are flexible and open to proposals on your side, regarding working hours and input. If you are interested in any of these positions please write an email with your background and motivation to Valerie Blom: vb@archis.org.
