The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), the world's largest archive of digital social science data, is now accepting applications for its annual summer internship program that will take place from June through August 2006. Summer Interns will work in a UNIX environment and gain experience using statistical programs to check data for content and accuracy; preparing data for permanent archiving and distribution for secondary analysis; preserving respondent anonymity; and composing descriptions of data collections. These positions require a strong interest in social science research. Applicants should have successfully completed their undergraduate sophomore year in a social science major and possess strong analytical, research, and written and verbal communication skills. Knowledge of statistical software packages (i.e., SPSS, SAS, Stata), demonstrated leadership skills, and the ability to prioritize multiple tasks are also essential. For more information please consult our full description of the 2006 Summer Internship Program. Or contact Gretchen Gano, Social Science Data Librarian, gretchen.gano@yale.edu or 203-432-6121.
