Internship Program

HumRRO's internship is available to a student currently enrolled in a full-time Industrial-Organizational Psychology (or related fields) Masters or Ph.D. accredited program. The traditional summer internship at HumRRO is for 3 months; however, a 6-12 month internship will be considered. Our internship is a paid, full-time opportunity. Regardless of duration, internship duties and responsibilities are the same; however, variations are possible depending upon the technical content and timeline of the particular projects in need of staffing.

An intern will serve as a research assistant/associate on one or more projects. Typical tasks include literature review, synthesis, and analysis; data collection, entry, and analysis; survey and other instrument development and administration; and documentation of findings. HumRRO is looking for a responsible, motivated team player with strong technical and communication skills to assist in our contract research activities. HumRRO project directors will provide technical supervision and mentoring to help make the most of the intern's exposure to and experience with our applied research setting.

Selection

Selection is competitive and will be based on review of application materials and reference assessment for evidence of research promise, academic achievement, and writing ability. Finalists will be interviewed telephonically.

Application Process

All application materials for HumRRO's summer internship are due in to HumRRO on or before February 10. Materials may be mailed in or submitted electronically. Each applicant must provide HumRRO with the following:

a curriculum vitae/detailed resume and cover letter
a one-page personal statement of career goals and internship interests
official transcript(s) of all graduate work
contact information for two references (i.e., the name, title, address, phone number, and e-mail address; recommendation letters are not needed).

The traditional internship at HumRRO is for three months. Candidates who desire a "non-traditional" internship (i.e., either an internship during the non-summer months or a longer opportunity than our traditional summer internship) must submit with their application a justification for this type of internship.
