Internships
Office of Policy and Analysis' (OP&A) internships are available to undergraduate and graduate students. OP&A internships provide experiences in conducting quantitative and qualitative policy-related studies of major Smithsonian programmatic and administrative activities. In addition, the office conducts studies of Smithsonian visitors and program participants.

Interns either work as collaborators with OP&A staff in data collection, analysis, and presentation of results or undertake independent projects. A social science-related background (management, business, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, education, etc.) and some coursework in qualitative or quantitative research methods are helpful. Academic credit can be arranged.

If you are interested in pursuing an internship with OP&A, send an Application Form (http://intern.si.edu/), cover letter, resume, recent course paper, and proposed start dates to Zahava D. Doering. Electronic submissions are appreciated.

Term: Minimum of 2 months.
Stipend: Generally none (financial assistance is sometimes available on a limited basis).
Deadline: Applications are considered year-round.
