U.S. News and World Report says our students "Would make the founders weep with
joy." The Chicago Tribune says for trusted information "there's no better place to
start" than with the interns at Project Vote Smart. The New York Times says,
"Research experts nearly all recommend Project Vote Smart."
After 16 years of testing and the effort put in by over 6000 interns, Project Vote
Smart is about to announce the nation's first Voter's Self-Defense System just in
time for what many feel will be the nation's most dramatic and important
presidential elections.
The Project has internship openings in the Information Technology Department. We are
seeking applicants to assist the IT department in maintaining the office
workstations, servers and network, as well as take part in continued development of
the Project's website and application. Responsibilities will include: technical
support, website development in PHP and HTML, application development in Java and
JSP, network and system administration. The ideal candidate will be comfortable
working in a Unix environment, experienced with website development, and have some
familiarity with Java and JSP.
All internships come with a full-scholarship paying for all room and board at one of
the most extraordinary private retreats in the nation and $500 stipend upon
acceptance. The Project's Great Divide Ranch retreat research center is nestled high
amongst the peaks of the Montana Rocky Mountains surrounded by pristine wilderness.
We are looking for extraordinary people willing to help citizens defend themselves
from the self-serving antics of political candidates while having the experience of
a lifetime.
We have already begun processing spring and summer internship applications.
Internships can begin at any time fitting the student's schedule. Please visit our
web site at www.votesmart.org for more information and to download an application.
Students should submit their application, cover letter, resume, and three references
to internshipmt@votesmart.org or by mail to One Common Ground, Philipsburg, MT
59858.
