Analyst Fellowships (paid)
We launched Clarity Campaign Labs (claritycampaigns.com) in early 2012 to provide fully integrated analytic solutions to Democratic campaigns, progressive non-profits, and select corporate clients. Our team consists of experts across the fields of campaign strategy, political data, and analytics. Together, these skill sets allow us to meet the unique data and analytic needs of each of our clients while ensuring that the resulting tools and information integrate seamlessly into their operations and strategy.
About the positions:
We are hiring current college students and recent graduates to join the Clarity team in Washington, D.C. for the summer of 2016 (spring and fall may also be available). If have strong analysis and technical skills and are interested in working on predictive models and analytical puzzles for high profile campaigns, you're in the right place! Our ideal candidate is eager to learn, quick to pick up new skills, and dedicated to progressive candidates and causes.
In their time at Clarity, an analyst fellow will master the basics of political data, become fluent in campaign applications of micro-targeting, gain valuable campaign experience on the 2016 election cycle, and develop the technical skills to tackle a wide range of analytic problems.
