[YEP-DC] Fordham is hiring fall (paid) interns!

Fordham is hiring several paid internship positions:

Communications and Development Intern

This person will assist in a number of nonprofit-management tasks critical to maintaining and improving strong media and foundation relations. Regular duties include the following:

• Creating dissemination strategies and promoting Fordham's research and events to new audiences
  
• Writing communications and development content for grants, websites, emails, and newsletters
  
• Researching and strategizing new funder prospects
  
• Tracking and analyzing Fordham's impact on the education-policy debate
  
• Managing social-media platforms (including Twitter, Facebook, and Google+)
  
• Planning and organizing events
  
• Copyediting grant proposals
  

The position also includes clerical and administrative duties

Research Internships

We are currently accepting internship applications for our fall intern cohort. Applications for Research Internships are accepted on a rolling basis.

• Research. The Fordham Institute's primary topics of interest are high standards; assessments and accountability systems; charter schools and school choice; curriculum and pedagogy; teacher quality; application of technology; and the federal role in education. We are seeking interns with experience and interest in the education field who can perform high-quality research and write clearly and convincingly. Research tasks would include assisting with our main reports as well as smaller day-to-day projects.
  
• Commentary. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute is devoted exclusively to reforming K–12 education. One of the main ways in which we do this is through our on-going commentary. These outlets include the weekly publication of an influential national magazine, The Education Gadfly; a lively, interactive website and blog; a weekly podcast segment; and the publication of our opinion pieces in various national publications. An intern may have the opportunity to contribute to these various media.
  
• Clerical duties. The Fordham office is both busy and small. In addition to substantive responsibilities, an intern will be expected to help out by answering phones, opening mail, making copies, faxing documents, answering e-mail queries, helping with the web site, and other daily office duties.
