Internships, PhD & academic positions

The early-career and academic side. Most studio internships come straight from the studios we already list — but these are the extra channels: the Erasmus+ traineeship scheme, the architecture-community boards, and the research world.

Research, PhD & academic positions

Source	Scope	What it is
EURAXESS (EU Researchers in Motion) ↗	Europe/global (40+ countries)	The EU's official portal for research jobs, PhD and postdoc positions; the research equivalent of EURES. Filter by field via URL path, e.g. /jobs/search/field_research_field/<slug>. See euraxess_api_notes.
jobs.ac.uk ↗	UK (some international)	Main UK academic jobs board with an 'Architecture, Building and Planning' subject area; publishes per-subject RSS feeds (raw XML) for syndication.
Academic Positions ↗	Europe/global	Pan-European academic job board with dedicated Architecture and Architecture & Design fields and position filters (PhD / postdoc / faculty). UK mirror at academicpositions.co.uk.
AcademicTransfer ↗	Netherlands	Non-profit national platform of all Dutch universities, UMCs and research institutes; lists all NL PhD/academic vacancies incl. TU Delft architecture. Vacancy feed via Bluesky (Twitter feed discontinued); no documented public API.
THEunijobs (Times Higher Education) ↗	Europe/global	International university jobs board with a dedicated Architecture category (academic posts, lecturers/assistant professors); supports job alerts.
Nature Careers ↗	Europe/global	Science-focused research jobs board; strong on STEM/postdoc but thin on pure architecture - useful for built-environment/engineering-adjacent research posts. No architecture-specific category.
ResearchGate Jobs ↗	Europe/global	Research jobs listed within the ResearchGate scientific network; keyword search rather than an architecture category.
HigherEdJobs ↗	Global (US-centric)	Has an Architecture faculty category (JobCat=121); predominantly US institutions, limited European coverage.

Internships & traineeships

Source	Scope	What it is
Erasmus+ Traineeships (student mobility) ↗	Europe (programme countries)	EU scheme funding work placements abroad for Bachelor/Master students and doctoral candidates; placements arranged mainly via the student's university Erasmus office.
Erasmus Intern (Erasmus Student Network) ↗	Europe	ESN traineeship portal listing Erasmus+ placements incl. many architecture-office internships. NOTE: platform migrating - new account creation and offer posting being disabled during transition.
Archinect Jobs ↗	Global	Most widely used architecture-community job board; strong for studio internships and entry-level roles, with firm-side portfolio search.
Dezeen Jobs - Internships ↗	Global (Europe-heavy)	Design-led architecture/interiors jobs board with a dedicated internships filter; lists paid internships at well-known studios.
ArchDaily Jobs ↗	Global	Job/internship listings tied to ArchDaily editorial network; internship tag at archdaily.com/tag/internship.
Bustler ↗	Global	Archinect-affiliated; primarily architecture competitions and events rather than a jobs board - secondary relevance for placements.
Gradcracker ↗	UK/Europe	STEM student careers site; paid-only architecture placements/internships, incl. a Europe filter. Modest employer count.
Graduateland / JobTeaser ↗	Europe (25 countries)	Largest European graduate/student career network (Graduateland merged into JobTeaser 2022); integrated into 800+ university career portals; architecture/construction internship listings.

Looking for a studio internship? Most come straight from the studios — see the live internship ads, or browse the studio directory and apply speculatively (studios take interns year-round, not just when they advertise).
