Fall student internship opportunity with OK Policy

OK Policy is looking for one or two students for a paid part-time internship during the fall 2011 semester. Students would be expected to work between 8 and 15 hours over one to three days per week, depending on their schedules and availability. Work will be primarily in our Tulsa office, with occasional opportunities to work from home or school.

The work will primarily involve collecting data, conducting research, and offering analysis on state policy issues, including poverty, economic development, health care, immigration, and other subjects. We are looking for highly-motivated students with strong writing and quantitative skills, research experience, and a demonstrated interest in public policy. Students should be in at least their junior year.  The job will primarily be office-based but could include occasional attendance at meetings in Tulsa or Oklahoma City. We are happy to cooperate with an institution’s requirements for academic credit.

Interested candidates should e-mail a resume and cover letter to David Blatt –  dblatt@okpolicy.org –  by August 19th.
