Sunwater Institute Data Science Intern

Background:

The Sunwater Institute is a non-profit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to strengthening the foundations of liberal 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 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.


Data Science Intern Responsibilities: 

Interns will participate in projects that apply cutting-edge data science and analytical techniques to uncover patterns, trends, and insights from congressional datasets. Interns will collaborate on multidisciplinary research projects to explore the intersection of political science, data analytics, and other fields. This work will contribute to Legis1, our analytics platform, and help enhance our understanding of legislative processes and lawmaker behavior. 


Our internship program is open to current and recent undergraduate students. We are looking for candidates with a strong academic foundation in data science, data analytics, computer science or political science, history, and economics with a background in quantitative/technical coursework. 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 Fall 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.
