Are you studying for an IT degree and looking for a student job where you'll gain hands-on experience with modern workplace technology, cloud services, cybersecurity, and IT operations? Then join us!

We have an exciting opportunity for a service-minded IT student to join our team as a Student Assistant in Copenhagen.

About ICES

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is an intergovernmental organization which advances marine science and promotes sustainable use of the seas. Our Secretariat is located in central Copenhagen and consists of approximately 85 staff representing more than 30 nationalities.

We are a small, collaborative workplace with an international outlook and a strong focus on learning, innovation, and knowledge sharing.

Your role

As our new Student Assistant, you'll help support the day-to-day IT needs of colleagues across an international workplace. Working alongside four other members of the IT team, you'll gain practical experience with modern workplace technologies while helping ensure that staff can work securely and effectively both in the office and remotely.

Responsibilities

You will help with

• IT support and troubleshooting
• Device setup and user administration
• Microsoft 365 services and workplace technology
• Meeting room and conferencing equipment
• IT improvements, documentation, and security activities
• Support cybersecurity and compliance activities, including CIS controls, using cloud and Microsoft 365 security solutions.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a student who has completed at least 3 years of education within IT, computer science, business informatics, technical engineering, or a related field, and who is currently pursuing further studies.

You do not need to know everything already. We are more interested in your curiosity, motivation, and willingness to learn.

For this role, we expect you to have

• A strong interest in IT support and workplace technology
• Good understanding of Windows and Microsoft 365
• Confidence troubleshooting common technical issues
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken
• A structured and detail-oriented approach to your work
• The ability to work independently while also being a strong team player

Experience with Microsoft 365 administration, cloud technologies, device management, cybersecurity, or scripting is an advantage, but not required.

Why join ICES?

At ICES, you'll do more than provide IT support. You'll gain practical experience with modern workplace technology, work closely with experienced colleagues, and help support an international community of staff and scientists. We offer flexible working hours to fit around your studies, along with plenty of opportunities to learn and develop your skills.

Terms of Appointment

This is a paid student role, and the working hours are 15 hours per week. This position will be established with an initial duration of 6 months, with a starting date as soon as possible (preferably January 2027).
