Center for Democracy and Technology

The Center for Democracy and Technology offers summer internships to qualified college and recent graduates, as well as graduate students, with an interest in Internet and technology policy. CDT typically brings in 3-4 interns for full-time summer positions. CDT's positions are unpaid.

CDT's interns have the opportunity to join the front lines of the battle for democracy in the digital age. Interns contribute substantially to their work on current areas of the Internet and technology policy debate, including free expression, privacy, electronic surveillance and Internet governance. Interns conduct technical and policy research, draft reports and analyses, assist in the preparation of testimony, and help create online resources. They attend congressional, agency and court hearings and learn about the federal policy-making process. Summer interns are also encouraged to conduct independent projects and to present the results of their research. Internship perks include brown bag lunches with technology law and policy experts, excellent opportunities for mentoring, and the potential for on-going relationships with the CDT staff.

Relevant Skills & Experiences:

• Basic knowledge of the Internet
• Solid writing and research skills
• Ability to take initiative and prioritize responsibilities in a fast-paced office environment
