Research Intern
We are accepting applications for our Spring 2016 research internships through October 31, 2015. Please see below for more information about the internship and how to apply.
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute, based in Washington, D.C., provides several internships throughout the year. Fordham's research internships involve diverse and meaningful responsibilities, including:
1. 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 seek interns with experience and interest in the education field who can perform high-quality research and write clearly and convincingly. Research tasks include assisting with Fordham's ongoing research studies as well as smaller day-to-day projects.
2. Commentary. The Fordham Institute is devoted exclusively to reforming K–12 education. One of the main ways in which we do this is through our ongoing 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 opinion pieces in various national publications. Research interns frequently have the opportunity to contribute to these various media.
3. Clerical duties. Fordham's national office is both busy and small. In addition to substantive responsibilities, interns are also expected to help out by fielding phone calls, staffing events, managing mail, answering e-mail queries, helping with the website, and other daily office duties.
Qualifications:
We seek resourceful, intelligent, organized, hard-working individuals who are capable of excelling in an intellectually stimulating and often intense work environment. Qualified candidates will have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, strong writing skills, a deep interest in education, and proficiency in major Microsoft Office applications. Prior research experience a plus.
Candidates should be available to start in early January 2016. Note: All research internships are full-time positions (Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm).
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute is an equal opportunity employer. The position pays $13.80 per hour.
Please browse our website for more information about our organization.
