Internships for Research Master students
We offer Research Master students of universities the opportunity to do an internship at NIDI. You can use this internship to write a master thesis, but it can also be part of a course in the curriculum that involves research activities. During the internship you can participate in one of the many interdisciplinary research projects that we are involved in. Available internships are shown below.
Internship on understanding health declines across adulthood
Most adults develop at least one chronic disease in their lifetimes. Chronic diseases tend to accumulate into multimorbidity, lowering quality of life and leading to premature death. The co-occurrence of 2 or more chronic diseases is known as multimorbidity. People with multimorbidity have substantially higher disability and mortality risks than those with just 1 chronic disease and also have higher care needs and medical costs. In this project, the research intern will work with Prof. Solveig Cunningham (NIDI) to advance our understanding of the origins, progression, sequence, and accumulation of chronic diseases across adulthood using SHARE, a population-representative longitudinal dataset from across Europe.
