The Center for Democracy & Technology has a new San Francisco office, and
they're looking for tech interns for a technical project at the
intersection of policy and technology.
From my conversations with Raeanne, I get the feeling that it will
focus on browser extensions related to privacy awareness. That's still
tentative, so don't take that as a promise. But if that sort of thing is
up your alley, you might want to talk to her.
The internship is unpaid, sadly, but I can offer you that you could hang
out with me in San Francisco and other lovely people such as EFF's Seth
David Schoen. (-:

PS- We're also hiring two fulltime positions in our office in DC, a Web
Producer <http://cdt.org/staff/producer.php> and New Media person
<http://cdt.org/staff/newmedia.php>.
The Center for Democracy & Technology’s San Francisco office (“CDT West”) is
currently accepting applications for an unpaid, full-time summer 2009
internship. This internship is designed for undergraduates and graduate
students with technical skills and an interest in Internet policy and civil
liberties. CDT West expects to have one to two summer interns in its San
Francisco office in 2009.
The CDT West summer internship offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to
the development of policy affecting the future of the Internet. We encourage
applicants to review the CDT website (www.cdt.org) to better understand the
nature and breadth of CDT’s work. The CDT West internship will focus on online
advertising issues and is specifically designed for students in computer
science or those with programming skills. Projects will include the development
of online tools, such as a browser extension that will help users protect their
online privacy.
Summer internship applicants should have an interest in Internet and technology
policy, strong technical and analytic skills, the ability to take initiative,
and a solid academic record. Specific programming experience in writing browser
extensions and/or knowledge of JavaScript is preferred. We ask that interns
work full-time for at least 10 weeks during the summer. Internships are unpaid
positions.
Please send a resume and a cover letter explaining your interest in CDT to
[email protected]. Deadline for submission is March 1, 2009. Applicants will be
notified by April 1, 2009.
