Please send a resume (or similar listing of relevant experience) and a cover letter (or other personal statement about why you're interested in working with EA).

What we can offer you:
- Opportunity for impact. If what you produce is excellent, we will make sure it gets in the hands of policymakers, reporters and other organizations. It could end up influencing policy! And if you're planning to pursue a career in policy, it could be a great way to get your work in front of people all over the macro policy world.
- A week of vacation. We'll only have you for three short months, so we want to make the most of that time together. But we also recognize that summer is a chance for you to decompress between busy school years. We'll make sure you get a full week of paid vacation during your summer internship.
- Competitive pay. You'll be a W2 employee and earn a salary of $4,500 a month (for full time). And if you need a health plan during your time here, you're eligible for that too.
