Summer Internship - LAO

Organization: California Legislative Analyst's Office

Location: Sacramento, CA

Job Type: Internship, Full-time

Salary: Stipend: $2,900 per month.

Deadline: December 16, 2016

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

The intern's primary responsibility is to complete an analytical product over a 12-week period resulting in either:
- A stand-alone product that the LAO will publish.
- A draft product that the LAO will incorporate into a larger product it intends to publish.
- An internal memo describing the analysis performed over the summer, findings and recommendations, and the implications for a broader study that the LAO is conducting or considering.

During the summer, we expect the intern to quickly gather, evaluate, and analyze information on the assigned project, by conducting independent research and, in most cases, interviewing stakeholders.

Typically, research projects involve some travel within California. In addition, interns perform quantitative analysis on a policy issue and apply the policy analytical techniques learned in their graduate programs to a practical issue facing the State of California.

Interns work under the direct supervision of an experienced fiscal and policy analyst.
At the end of the program, the intern will give a presentation on his or her work to executive staff at the LAO.

To Apply: Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume, and three references (name, relationship, and phone numbers only) to Sarah Kleinberg, Administrative Officer.
