| Spring 2019 Hudson Institute Internships Posted: 22 Oct 2018 09:02 AM PDT The Hudson Institute is one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in the world.

The Institute is currently seeking interns for Spring 2019 to support their work in a variety of areas. International Economics and Trade Internship The intern will support the Institute's work on economic and political factors affecting the performance of the industrial economy of the United States. This is comprised of worker training, tax structures, regulatory issues, and international trade. In addition to being exposed to critical issues in these fields, interns will spend significant time discussing these issues with their scholar. Onsite interns also attend weekly events featuring experts from Hudson Institute and across Washington, DC. Responsibilities include: gathering data relevant to economic research topics (many involving foreign sources); putting data into visual formats using charts and graphs; assembling bibliographies for research topics and providing summaries of relevant findings; writing summaries of relevant background research for articles, speeches, and reports; and assisting in editing draft articles and reports. Economic Policy Research Internship These interns will support the Institute's work on economic and finance issues, including international economics, consumer finance, trade, and housing markets. In addition to being exposed to critical issues in these fields, interns will spend significant time discussing these issues with their scholar. Onsite interns may also attend weekly career and policy discussions featuring experts from Hudson Institute and across Washington, DC. This position is unpaid. Responsibilities include: gathering and analyzing data for inclusion in reports and articles; keeping the scholar and team up to date on recent economic developments; assisting the scholar with research projects and presentations; editing and conducting research for articles, op-eds, reports, and briefing papers; and assisting with administrative tasks and event support.

| Apply for BSOS Student Experience Funds! Posted: 22 Oct 2018 08:52 AM PDT  The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is currently accepting applications for the BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds! These funds assist undergraduate BSOS majors engaged in experiential learning outside the classroom, such as unpaid internships, research, service learning, and professional or academic conferences. The funds are intended to help offset expenses related to such activities like travel/transportation expenses, professional attire, and other opportunity costs (for example: the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship). If you are an ECON student with financial need that is preventing you from taking advantage of an unpaid opportunity, we encourage you to apply for BSOS Undergraduate Experience Funds. There are two funds that are specifically intended just for ECON majors! Applications for the Winter 2019 and Spring 2019 experiences are due on November 19th, 2018 by 9 a.m. For more information and to apply visit: go.umd.edu/experience. Questions regarding the funds or the application process can be e-mailed to bsos-scholarships@umd.edu.  |
