The Center for Democracy & Technology is currently accepting resumes for unpaid, part-time fall/spring internships from college students and recent graduates, as well as graduate students, with an interest in Internet and technology policy and/or civil liberties.

CDT interns have the opportunity to join the front lines of the battle for democracy in the digital age. Interns work closely with CDT policy experts and attorneys, who cover a broad array of issues related to technology and civil liberties including online free expression, electronic surveillance, digital copyright, Internet governance, and a range of privacy issues from spyware to RFID technology to government ID programs. We encourage applicants to review the CDT website to better understand the breadth of issues in CDT’s work.

Interns contribute substantially to CDT’s work by conducting technical and policy research; drafting reports and analyses; assisting in the preparation of testimony, presentations, and legislation; and helping create online and other educational resources. Interns may have the opportunity to attend congressional, agency and court hearings, and meetings and conferences. The small size of the organization guarantees close interaction with staff.

Students from all majors and degree programs are encouraged to apply. Internship applicants should have an interest in Internet and technology policy and/or civil liberties, strong research and writing skills, the ability to take initiative and prioritize responsibilities in a fast-paced office environment, and a solid academic record. We ask that interns work for at least 20 hours per week.

Please send a resume and a cover letter explaining your interest in CDT to jobsearch@cdt.org.
