The Global Economy and Development Program is seeking an intern to assist and provide support for a senior fellow and his research staff during the summer of 2010.

Intern responsibilities would include research and administrative assistance for current projects relating to governance, overseas development assistance and various current event topics. Specific duties would include assistance with web-based research, data gathering and analysis, and public event or private seminar planning and preparation.
Successful applicants are generally undergraduate and graduate students with a demonstrated interest in economics, international development and empirical research. A strong academic background, writing and research skills, and familiarity with data analysis are highly desirable.
Please note that all internship positions are unpaid, and will run from mid-May through mid-August. Hours are negotiable.
