CCPA is now accepting applications from graduate students for the second annual Rosenbluth Internship in Public Policy. The successful applicant will be paid to work on their own original research under the mentorship of CCPA researchers, with a possibility for publishing.
Deadline: March 16, 2014 @ 11:59pm

The CCPA’s research priorities include democracy and governance, climate change, inequality and economic security. We are particularly interested in proposal topics that address: job creation and the role of government, regional economic development/job creation, economic security for youth, low-wage work and job quality, progressive tax reform, trends in government funding for various public services, and voter turnout (and how it can be increased), but proposals addressing other topics are also welcome. To receive consideration, proposals must connect to public policy issues, either within BC or nationally.
The successful applicant will work on a research project of her or his own design under the supervision of senior CCPA researchers, and will receive $5,000 to cover approximately 240 hours of work time. Where appropriate, the resulting paper will be released as a CCPA publication.
To apply, submit the following (as a single PDF if possible) to <thi@policyalternatives.ca> before midnight on Sunday March 16:
- a proposal outlining your research idea including overview, background, methods and workplan/timeline (1-2 pages, single spaced, 11-point font)
- a resume or CV
- one reference letter
Note that the internship will likely commence in May (although we are open to a later start) and will run for a minimum of 16 and a maximum of 32 weeks; applicants should set their timelines accordingly.
NB: Short-listed candidates will be interviewed the morning of Thursday, April 3.
Eligibility:
The intern must be registered as a graduate student for the duration of the internship, and must be able to work out of the CCPA’s BC Office, located in downtown Vancou
