Grant Writing Internships for PhD Students

SASA is looking for volunteer (unpaid) Grant Writing PhD students, who are currently in a PhD program, to learn all aspects of grant seeking and writing, while helping SASA find funding for our major projects and programs related to Ancient Studies public outreach and access over a 6-month period.

Position Description:

This is a volunteer (unpaid) position to support the organization’s fundraising priorities by writing grant applications and reports, cultivating relationships with team members, and identifying new grant opportunities.

As a young and growing organization, SASA has embarked on a number of projects and programs regarding Ancient Studies in the areas of public outreach, education, public scholarship, academic support, and academic in-reach. This position of Grant Writing PhD Intern will be responsible for contributing to development and administrative duties of the Grant Writing Team, and to act as support for the volunteers and team leader. This can include admin activities including filing, organizing and reviewing existing documentation, and other activities as assigned.

PhD Interns will have opportunities to read and provide feedback for drafted grant proposals and LOIs that are completed by the other volunteers. PhD interns may also participate in writing drafts of sections of grant proposals, but it is not guaranteed and will depend on the intern’s development during the internship. However, interns will report directly to the Grant Writing Team Leader, and there will be adequate opportunities for the intern to learn about the function of the organization, the requirements around grant writing, and develop their formal writing skills in this area.
