The Show-Me Institute is pleased to offer internship opportunities for the Winter/Spring of 2012.

• Internships are open to current undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates.
• Internships will last approximately four months. The exact starting and ending dates are flexible, but we anticipate that each internship will run from January 4 through May 23.
• Interns can work a part- or full-time schedule, 9:00–5:00, with attendance strongly suggested at the institute’s book club once a month.
• Because the Show-Me Institute is a “small shop,” interns will be involved in virtually all aspects of the institute’s operations. Interns work closely with senior staff on a wide variety of projects. They can expect greater responsibility and personal attention than they would receive at larger organizations.
• Interns will assist staff members with a variety of tasks. These may include researching public policy topics, organizing events, and writing and editing op-eds, newsletters, studies, and other documents. Some administrative and clerical tasks also are required.
• A Show-Me Institute internship is an excellent opportunity to improve your research and writing skills. Each intern will produce an op-ed on a public policy topic of interest to him or her. Each intern will receive feedback and assistance from the institute’s staff members throughout the process.
• All internships will occur at the Show-Me Institute’s offices in the Central West End.
• Interns are paid on an hourly basis.

Those wishing to be considered for an internship should submit the internship application and the requested supporting materials. The deadline for consideration is December 2, 2011. Applicants can expect a decision in mid- to late December.
