CONSIDER A SPSSI INTERNSHIP

SPSSI has year round opportunities for graduate student and undergraduate student internships at the SPSSI Central Office in Washington DC!  

Interns assist SPSSI staff on various projects. Depending on the intern's training and skills, the time of the year and what projects are on the "front burner”, interns may work with us on a range of communications, or administrative projects, such as:

•providing research and/or editorial assistance needed to prepare materials for publication

•representing SPSSI at Washington-area seminars and other events

•researching or writing new content for SPSSI website

•posting and editing content on SPSSI website

•preparing e-newsletter

•assisting with planning for SPSSI conventions 

•communicating with SPSSI members on various issues

•assisting association management and administration tasks
 

Interns can count on being given substantive assignments at least 50% of their time at SPSSI, but they must also willingly help with clerical work—answering phones, mailings, copying documents, etc.
