SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East.

SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leading role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the School which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity.

SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenges.


About the Department:


The School of Arts is a world-leading centre for study and research involving visual and sound arts, material and intangible cultures, media industries and digital cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and their global diasporas.

There are many arts degrees available bringing together scholars and students from three units at SOAS:

the Department of the History of Art & Archaeology (HAA), the Department of Music and the Centre for Creative Industries, Media and Screen Studies.

It is a unique concentration of experts, with some thirty full-time academic staff members, unsurpassed in scale and reach by any other institution or university worldwide.


About the Role:


The CO-OP project is pleased to invite up to two interns for a guided research opportunity in the Fall of 2023 with a focus on museum collections of Southeast Asian objects in the UK.

Eligibility extends to all students (full time or part time) currently enrolled on any School of Arts MA programme.

Alongside SOAS staff, the interns will undergo intensive research into select UK collections of Southeast Asian materials.

The project will equip interns with basic provenance research methods and familiarize them with collecting histories along with policies and juridical frameworks meant to govern acquisitions - and returns.

In addition, interns will have the opportunity to attend the UCL Conference on the trade of cultural objects in September and to gain experience in provenance research, collection histories, and museology.


By the end of the internship, each intern will have produced one object biography report of a chosen piece or pieces to be published on the CO-OP website.

Using CO-OP's vision as a guideline, the object biographies will imagine alternative interpretation and repositories of knowledge.


You can find further information on the key criteria for the role in the Job Description and Person Specification, along with a full list of duties and responsibilities, which can be found on the SOAS website.
