Help us reach as many educators as possible with the freely available educational material.

About the internship

Introduction

Quintel Intelligence develops the Energy Transition Model (ETM), a free online resource that allows anyone to discover possible energy futures. As part of our mission to further the discussion and decision making on the subject of energy, we are running an ambitious education program, together with GasTerra. We are looking for an intern who can help us forge relationships with educational institutions at all levels and market the available material.

Our Educational Projects

We are working on an ambitious education program that spans the range from Primary School all the way to Post-master education. We want to reach 50 percent of all students in the next years. For an overview of the educational materials that we have created and that we are working on, take a look at our Education Website.

Your assignment

All the material developed for and by Quintel is freely available. We want to increase the impact of this material by making sure more people are aware of its existence and by learning more about their wishes and needs. Your mission will be to:

  • Conduct market research for our education program
    • Find and interview educators active in the field of energy
    • Find out if they are using the ETM and why / why not
  • Organize lessons and workshops at schools and universities
  • Establish lasting collaboration with educators
  • Help us fine tune the available educational material to best suit the wishes and needs of both educators and students

What we are looking for

We are searching for an intern that:

  • has affinity and experience with marketing
  • has affinity with the subject of energy
  • has some affinity with education
  • works and thinks at academic level
  • is fluent in Dutch

We will work with you to craft an internship that is interesting for you and for us. Your internship should be of sufficient depth and content for your school or university, yet contribute to achieving tangible results in use of educational material. We do require your active involvement in shaping the internship to your own interests and wishes.

Supervision

You will be supervised by one of our full-time employees. Since we supervise about three to four interns each year, we have obtained plenty of experience with guiding internship projects.

Starting date

This vacancy is currently open.

Duration

Internships typically last for 6 months or longer. We do not encourage a shorter period since it will take a significant amount of time to get to know the field of energy thoroughly.

Location

Our office in the center of Amsterdam. You will be allowed to spend some of your time at another location (e.g. the university) if required.

Allowance

Interns receive a grant of 300 Euros per month. Travel expenses are reimbursed.

Apply

Please send your resume, a motivation letter and a list of your grades to jobs@quintel.com. If you live abroad, the interview can be held on Skype or FaceTime.

About us

We help our clients answer questions like: "What does a climate neutral energy system for my area look like?". The ETM is used by governments, grid operators, consultants, NGO's, academics and others to research their options to bring down greenhouse gas emissions. Since the energy transition is a highly collaborative effort, the ETM is rapidly becoming a factual framework for discussions between various stakeholders in the energy transition.

Quintel develops the Energy Transition Model and is a Dutch company, with an office in the centre of Amsterdam. Our team gets the work done during office hours, so that we can enjoy our evenings, with the occasional after-work drinks.
