A unique opportunity to gain real-world experience in educational assessment and accountability policy and practice.
We are pleased to offer an annual summer internship program to advanced doctoral students in educational measurement and/or assessment and accountability policy. This program is perfect for those who are looking for an opportunity to work with seasoned professionals on projects with direct implications on state and national educational policy.
As a Center intern, you will work on one major project throughout the summer. Interns will also have opportunities to interact with Center staff on ongoing projects, attend meetings with numerous leaders in assessment, accountability, and education policy. Interns are expected to produce a written report, suitable for conference presentation as a culminating project of the internship.
Internship candidates typically have completed at least two years of doctoral coursework in educational measurement, curriculum studies, statistics, research methods, or a related field. Interns with documented previous research experience are preferred. Further, you must document your ability to work independently to complete a long-term project. Specific qualifications are detailed in the 2023 internship announcement.
Our summer internships last eight weeks and are based at our offices in Dover, New Hampshire. The specific term of your internship will depend on your school schedule, but our summer internship program usually starts in early June. We will provide a stipend, as well as a housing allowance and reasonable relocation expenses if applicable.
The deadline for submission is typically each February. We will soon post the deadline for our 2024 program on this page. In the meantime, you can review the application procedures and requirements in our 2023 posting.
