Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship
The War Crimes Studies Center participates in UC Berkeley's Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP) in which the research apprentice will pick a group of trials to work on for unit credit. The research will involve reading through the trial records and preparing reports on particular cases, or working on our database project for the Center's website. Professor Cohen will meet regularly with the student to discuss the cases. It is expect that this work would involve about 6-10 hours per week. Some background in WWII, or the conflicts in Sierra Leone, Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, Darfur, or East Timor would be helpful. Experience with databases, electronic publishing, or web design would also be an asset. There will be opportunities for students who continue to work in the Center for several semesters to apply for fieldwork opportunities at the tribunals.
Electronic applications for research apprenticeship are available at the beginning of each semester on the UC Berkeley URAP website:
