Research Internships
Often, the best way to learn something is simply to start doing it, and then respond to constructive feeback and expert guidance.
With PRIME research internships, students and young professionals have the opportunity to explore interesting policy questions as they work within a research team to produce a variety of outputs. Intern work may involve: helping with research planning; fieldwork; opinion polling; analysis; report writing; translating; presenting results; hosting events; or writing for PRIME news & views.
Depending on circumstance, Cambodian interns may be eligible for $50/month stipend and international interns may receive housing assistance. We would like to particularly thank the Mannkal Economics Education Foundation for being involved in our internship program.
Our latest advertisement for interns was on 9 September 2015.
