Summer 2011 Internship Program
Vera runs an annual summer internship program for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students. Interns typically work full time in one of Vera’s departments or centers and programs; some part-time positions may be available. In addition to working on individual assignments, all interns participate in events organized by the internship coordinator. For example, last summer interns visited Sing Sing Correctional Facility, lunched with executive-level management, and visited Vera demonstration projects.
Applications are due by April 1, 2011
Applications received after the deadline will be considered if internships remain unfilled after all on-time applications have been considered.
Note: Prospective interns are encouraged to seek independent funding either through an accredited four-year institution, or through fellowship grants or internship programs.
Center on Immigration and Justice Research Intern (1)
Vera's Center on Immigration and Justice (CIJ) works with government, nonprofit organizations, and communities to improve government systems that affect immigrants and their families. CIJ focuses on two objectives: increasing detained immigrants’ access to legal information and counsel, and improving relationships between immigrant communities and law enforcement officials. The Center oversees two major federal programs, develops and implements pilot programs, provides technical assistance, and conducts evaluation and empirical research. CIJ staff conduct original research and use evaluation methods to test new approaches to providing services for immigrant individuals and communities. The Center is also developing a research focus on mental health issues related to immigration and criminal justice.
Responsibilities: The intern will have the opportunity to work on a range of tasks, including data collection, data entry and management, data analysis, literature reviews, and helping to prepare briefing memos and presentations.
Qualifications: Undergraduate and graduate students majoring in the social sciences, clinical disciplines, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Strong organizational skills, communication skills, and ability to work as part of a team are essential. Familiarity with immigration and mental health issues, mixed-methods research experience and/or basic statistical knowledge is desirable.
