Positions Open

Fall Internships

The Show-Me Institute is pleased to offer internship opportunities for Fall 2025.

• Internships are open to current undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates.
• Internships last approximately 14 weeks. The exact starting and ending dates are flexible, but we anticipate that each internship will run from approximately September 8 to December 12.
• Fall interns will work a full-time or part-time schedule.
• Interns will be involved in many aspects of the Institute’s operations. Interns will 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 will be required.
• An internship is an excellent opportunity to improve your research and writing skills. Each intern will produce regular blog posts and an op-ed on a public policy topic of interest to him or her. Each intern will receive feedback and assistance from staff members throughout the process.
• Interns will work out of our St. Louis office, unless special arrangements are made to work in Columbia.
• Interns will be paid on an hourly basis.

Those wishing to be considered for an internship should submit the application and the requested supporting materials. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and interviews will be conducted as applications are received.
