INTERNATIONAL/NATIONAL
ASSOCIATES
DC-Cam provides
regular opportunities for students at Cambodian institutes of higher
education to intern at the Center, assisting with work according to
their skills and abilities. We also provide occasional opportunities
for interns from abroad (for example, we have hosted students from a
number of universities who worked as instructors on our legal training
programs). The number of interns we can host depends on our specific
needs.

VISITING SCHOLARS
Many authors,
professors, students, and other scholars from Cambodia and overseas
have worked with DC-Cam in the past ten years. Some receive financial
support from their universities while in Cambodia and others donate
their services. In many instances, we are able to provide visiting
scholars with translation and logistics support for their research.
Although
interested scholars from any field may apply to work at DC-Cam, we
most frequently host experts in the fields of history, law, religion,
documentation, cataloging and preservation, and information
technology.
VOLUNTEERS
DC-Cam believes
that voluntary service is one of the most effective factors in the
success of any non-governmental organization. To date, we have had the
opportunity to host over 1,000 volunteers at our center.
All of our
Cambodian staff begin working at the Center as volunteers for a period
of six months to a year (part of this period is unpaid and part with a
small stipend). If their work is successful, we are often able to
offer them full-time employment.
Competency in
the English language is required for volunteers at DC-Cam.
We also enjoy the
support of volunteers from abroad. Experts in history, document
cataloguing, law, editing and writing, museum studies, computers,
fundraising, and other fields are welcome. Most of our volunteer work
is produced off-site because of space constraints, although several of
our volunteers have worked for the Center in Phnom Penh in recent
years.
Currently, DC-Cam
is seeking volunteers in the following areas:
-
Database design
and management
-
Editing (English
language)
-
Proposal writing
-
Translating
(particularly from Khmer into English)
-
Distributing
DC-Cam materials and magazines within Cambodia
-
Website
maintenance.
