RAND's Summer Associate Program introduces outstanding graduate students to RAND, an institution that conducts research on a wide range of national security problems and domestic and international social policy issues. RAND's core research areas include:
Children and Families, Education and the Arts, Energy and Environment, Health and Health Care, Infrastructure and Transportation, International Affairs, Law and Business, National Security
Population, and Aging
Public Safety, Science and Technology, and Terrorism and Homeland Security
The program runs in the summer months only. Summer Associates work at RAND full-time for a 12-week period. Positions are available in RAND's major U.S. offices — Santa Monica, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, and Boston. All Summer Associates are collocated with project mentors. The location of the project mentor determines the location of the Summer Associate. Students receive bi-weekly compensation and are given the opportunity to conduct research that can be completed during the summer they are at RAND. The summer earnings for 2017 will be approximately $13,500 (before taxes) for the 12 weeks of full-time research.
Eligibility: The program is designed for full-time students who have completed at least two years of graduate work leading to a doctorate (e.g., PhD, EDD, DRPH, SciD, etc.) or professional degree (e.g., law or medical degree, professional engineer certificate). Students must be enrolled full-time in a graduate degree program during the spring and fall of 2017 to be considered for the program. Students graduating prior to September 2017 are encouraged to look at our full-time positions at www.rand.org/jobs.html.
