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 one-page biography, a recommendation from a former employer or teacher, and a writing sample. The biography, written in essay form, should explain the student's education, work, and other activities and how they relate to their future goals.
