Spring 2025 Undergraduate Intern
Location: Washington, DC
Closing Date: November 7, 2024
The internship will be hybrid, with some of the work expected to be performed in-office. The undergraduate interns will provide support to the Center’s small staff through research and writing projects and various daily tasks. With supervision by DPI staff, the undergraduate interns will work on data aggregation and analysis, ad hoc research projects, content drafting, and administrative tasks. Applicants should be detail-oriented and comfortable working with basic Excel.
Applicants should have an interest in the Center’s work of serving the media and the public with analysis and information on issues concerning capital punishment and be comfortable with a small office environment. Hours and schedule are flexible, but we prefer interns to work during normal work hours (M-F, 9-5pm ET). We are willing to work with your college or university for internship credit. Social Sciences, Communications, Criminal Justice/Criminology, Pre-Law, or other related field of study preferred. Start date and end date are flexible, but we hope interns would start in January 2025 and finish in May 2025. If you have any questions, please contact Hayley Bedard at hbedard@deathpenaltyinfo.org.
Other Considerations:
The internship will begin on/around January 15, 2025, and end on/around May 1, 2025.
