We’re looking for Research Interns to join ECA International Group this July for a 12-week paid internship in our TST or ECA International teams.

– Reviewing and interpreting global tax, immigration, and social security legislation to update and maintain databases of rules in these areas.
– Remote data collection for ECA’s cost of living survey, contributing to our online data collection as well as obtaining information via phone and email.
– Researching accommodation costs and assessing the suitability of properties for expatriates. Analyzing changes in average property prices and researching changes in market conditions that may account for these differences.
– Investigate the suitability and costs of a wide range of expatriate benefits such as international schools, company cars, and sports clubs.
– Assisting with other surveys and projects as required
