Kasting Kall - InternKats

Have you got the K-factor? As our fabulous InternKats Eleanor and Nick finish up their stint, it's time for another round!

The IPKat team is looking for 2 keen intellectual property enthusiasts to fill the position of InternKats.

Successful applicants will carry out their role for a period of 6 months, and be responsible for tasks including:

  • Round-up posts (example);
  • Never-too-late posts (example);
  • Around-the-blog posts (example);
  • Book reviews (example);
  • Updating the events calendar (here);
  • Reporting of statistics and analytics of the IPKat blog and coverage with a monthly round-up.

I didn't like it, I loved it!

If the InternKats wish, they are also invited to write independent posts with a suggested contribution rate of about once a month.  Throughout the period the InternKats will receive training as required for the tasks that the role involves, as well as mentoring and guidance from the IPKat team in writing posts.

Anyone may apply for this role, but the Kats think that it will be most suited to graduate students in the field of IP law or economics of IP, trainees (or recently qualified people) in one of the IP-related professions, or IP-enthusiasts in career transitions.  We encourage previous applicants to re-apply.  Interns can be located anywhere in the world.

We have updated our application system since our last round. Applicants should provide information about their career, motivation and a writing sample via this website.

The deadline for applications is Thursday, 22 September 2016 (midnight, GMT). Successful applicants will begin their internship on 1 October 2016.

So are you ready for the greatest IP auditions ever? Did this author of this post spend an inordinate amount of time researching X-Factor catchphrases? We look forward to your jah-mazing applications.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
