Congressional Budget Office Internship Opportunity

CBO provides the Congress with the objective, timely, and nonpartisan analyses needed for economic and budgetary decisions. Interns contribute to CBO’s work in program areas such as budget and tax policy, health care, national defense, the environment, education, retirement and other income assistance, regulation, and public investment.

Summer internships typically last for 10 weeks and include compensation based on academic level and work experience.

Ideal candidates are pursuing graduate academic programs in:

Economics

Public policy/Administration

Health policy

Financial management

Mathematics

Statistics

Physics

Engineering

Because the internship are project based, current college junior and seniors are also eligible to apply in the event that CBO offers projects based to their skill and experience level.

Information about the internship and the application procedure is available on CBO’s Web site, www.cbo.gov/employment/intern.cfm. The application period for the 2008 Summer Internship Program is December 17, 2007 through March 3, 2008. Students provide general information and submit their cover letter, résumé, references, and unofficial transcripts or course information online. Students who register at www.cbo.gov/vas_index.cfm will get an e-mail notifying them when CBO begins accepting applications in future years and when we post new jobs.

Selections will be based on academic achievement, the relevance of academic work to CBO’s responsibilities, and work experience and should be completed by April 4, 2008.
