Silver Spring, United States Sunwater Capital Full time
Background:

The Sunwater Institute is a non-profit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to strengthening the foundations of democracy through interdisciplinary science, technology, and open dialogue. As an intern at the Sunwater Institute, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research on the most pressing issues facing Congress and society.

Our Fall 2024 internship program runs from September 3rd through November 22nd. As an intern, you'll work alongside full-time staff members to conduct research, analyze data, and develop tools that will be used by Congress and other partner institutions.

Product Research Intern Responsibilities:

Sunwater Institute has developed Legis1, a congressional data platform that provides tools and resources to improve the performance and productivity of the U.S. Congress. The Legis1 team seeks to support broader audiences in the congressional ecosystem including legislative staff across Congress and the Executive branch, private sector public policy teams at advocacy organizations, researchers at think tanks, and legislative-focused media organizations. Product interns will be tasked with conducting research for the core market for each audience, performing competitive analysis, and identifying gaps in the market that Legis1 is well-positioned to fill.

Our internship program is open to current and recent undergraduate students. We are looking for candidates with a strong academic foundation in political science, history, economics, philosophy, design, or related fields. Our program offers flexibility in hours.

In addition to the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research, interns will benefit from our location in the Washington area. Near the Red Line, we are just a short walk or bus ride from the Twinbrook Metro Station. This is an unpaid position.

How to Apply:

To apply, please submit an application package that includes a cover letter, resume, and two references. Your cover letter should explain your interest in the field, and highlight your academic experiences that would inform your research at the Sunwater Institute. Your references should include the names and contact information of two academic or professional references who can speak to your qualifications for the position. Applications for the Summer Semester are due by August 20th, 2024. Applications will be reviewed as they come in.

We look forward to considering your application for this exciting opportunity to contribute to the work of the Sunwater Institute.
