NORC at the University of Chicago is invested in developing the expertise of individuals in social science research while fostering NORC’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and collegiality among researchers entering the profession. The NORC Summer Internship is a nine-week, paid position for individuals with an interest in the social sciences, survey research, data analysis, and research methods. Our 2023 program will be fully virtual from Monday, June 12 to Friday, August 11. Remote candidates who can commit to NORC’s 8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. CT business hours will be considered.

Interns typically work on an ongoing NORC research study, attend a seminar series on emerging topics in survey research, and network with NORC colleagues across departments. This summer, interns can expect to:

  • Learn the principles of research and industry best practices from leading practitioners at NORC
  • Gain hands-on experience that might include learning about survey design and operations, data collection techniques, analytic approaches, and public outreach
  • Combine social science and statistical methods with the practical challenges of day-to-day project implementation
  • Apply and develop a wide range of technical skills (these vary from project to project)
  • Build the teamwork and project management skills, with a focus on collaboration

NORC seeks interns who demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing a career in social science research, conscientiousness, and a commitment to rigor. We aim to foster diversity, creativity, and flexibility across our teams while strengthening problem-solving abilities and collaboration.
