Job opportunities and internships

Researcher


The SMF would like to commission a statistician/econometrician/quantitative social researcher to analyse the Wealth and Assets Survey (WAS) as part of our project to explore the financial behaviour of lower-income groups.

SMF Internship Programme

The SMF offers a programme of internships to highly motivated individuals seeking a career in domestic public policy analysis and research, who wish to gain work experience in a public policy environment. Internships at the SMF are unpaid positions (travel expenses only), normally lasting for between six weeks and three months, and would be best suited for those who have just completed university or post-graduate studies, though we do consider applications from all backgrounds.

We aim to provide our interns with a balanced work experience during their time at the SMF, and you will normally be involved in at least one major project, in addition to providing research assistance to our regular researchers and assisting in general think tank administrative duties.

The SMF is no longer accepting applications for the internship programme for the period of summer 2010. If you are interested in an internship for after this period, please check this page from June onwards for further details on applying. Applicants to the SMF internship programme are required to submit a CV and brief covering letter outlining their interest in working in a public policy environment, and stating when and for how long you are available for placement.
