Our Internship Opportunities:

Qualifications:

Students must be undergraduate students in their senior year or graduate students. Students are selected through a competitive process including academic accomplishment, an interview and writing sample. No previous political experience is required, but it is preferred.

WRS accepts interns throughout the year and, specifically for a modified period in the fall (August - December) of any even numbered year. We accept both full and part-time interns.

Interested applicants should have a genuine interest in survey research and strong mathematical skills. We are looking for team players who can work as well on their own as with a group. Intern duties are varied but can include anything from answering the phones to accompanying VP’s giving presentations. Particularly skilled individuals may even be given the opportunity to complete small survey research projects under supervision.

Interns are primarily responsible for:

• Assisting Research Assistants and Project Directors to complete charts and presentations (this requires training in both Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint which we provide)
• Ongoing organization and filing in our library and survey storage areas. We have a vast library system of past survey projects, we expect interns to become familiar with this area in the event new projects require information from prior surveys.
• Providing on-line research, including the Internet, Federal Election Commission, Roper Data, Hotline and other survey research collections. (We provide training in all these areas)
• Various office duties. When necessary we do expect the interns to pitch in and help out answering phones, stuffing mailings or any other "team" projects that require assistance.

Benefits:

We have offices located in Oklahoma City, Austin, Lancaster, PA and on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Full- time interns receive a minimum stipend of $10.00 per hour.
