The Manhattan Institute is a think tank whose mission is to develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility. The Manhattan Institute is looking for undergraduate students in the New York City area interested in a part-time internship. Interns will be exposed to all of the Institute's current work and, for specific projects, will work directly with the scholars. Interns attend Manhattan Institute events where outside scholars present their work and are regularly asked to edit the transcripts and reports from these events.
Interns are also responsible for some administrative duties and research.
The internships follow the semester schedule during the academic school year. For application to the internship program, students are requested to send a 500 to 700 word biography, a recommendation from a former employer or teacher, a transcript and a writing sample. The biography should explain the student's education, work, other activities and future goals.
