American Institute of Research is inviting applications for student internship programs. It is an unparalleled professional opportunity for undergraduates considering careers in economic research, academia, or the private sector. This program provide college students and recent graduates the opportunity to work closely with staff on projects that align with both their interests and AIER’s mission. Whether it’s contributing to scholarly research, policy analysis, or editorial writing, our interns gain invaluable exposure.
Interns have leveraged their experiences to launch careers at organizations like The World Bank, The Institute for Justice, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, IBM, and many other research institutes and companies across the world. A significant number of our former interns now teach and research at well-respected universities across the country.
Through a series of workshops, interns learn and practice the essentials of academic and popular writing, various research methods, fundamental and advanced techniques in econometrics, economic analysis through AIER economic indicators and Bloomberg terminal data, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency trading, and more.
At the end of their internship, each intern presents their final product to AIER staff and visiting scholars and receives valuable feedback on further development. They leave not only with a research product, but a new understanding of what engaging in deep, careful, and detailed analysis of issues relevant to the life and liberty of individuals – not just to academic discussion – entails.
