Scientific Freedom, Responsibility, and Law Program Internship Opportunities

SFR&L has a long-standing commitment to providing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to experience firsthand how issues at the intersection of science, ethics, and the law are addressed and handled within a policy setting. Interns will work closely with AAAS staff on a variety of projects, helping to prepare proposals, organize meetings, contribute to publications, manage computer databases, obtain resource materials, and participate in on-going research. They will also have the opportunity to attend relevant conferences and meetings in the Washington, D.C. area. Scheduling is flexible, but interns are expected to work at least four days per week, for a minimum of 30 hours. The internships are unpaid, but the Program will accommodate students interested in receiving course credit from their institutions.

To apply or inquire about current internship opportunities, send a cover letter and resume to Mark S. Frankel, AAAS, 1200 New York Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20005. Further information may also be found on the Scientific Freedom, Responsibility and Law Program Web site.
