Hi danah,
The Technology Policy Group (TPG) at Microsoft is offering a limited number of 12-week paid summer internships in Redmond, WA, again this year, and we are looking for graduate students interested areas such as Internet Governance, Wireless Spectrum Management, Next Generation Networks, Privacy/Data Management practices, Environmental Sustainability, and Intelligent Systems. Additional information are included below. The deadline for submission is Mar 22.
TPG investigates how disruptive technologies affect the global policy landscape. Our work is done in partnerships with other groups at Microsoft, thought leaders, and policy makers throughout the world. As an intern, students will help to shape our thinking and position as we engage with Microsoft influential and policy leaders around the world on public policy issues and strategies that can help accelerate and inform progress on technological innovation. We also have a dedicated prototyping group which allows us to create proof-of-concepts to evidence the nature of future technical disruptions and inform policy makers as they wrestle with the implications of future changes to their policy and regulatory frameworks. Such integration of software development and alongside analytical exploration provides a solid foundation for our policy work.
The internship includes travel, housing, and transportation options.
Please ask interested students to send their CV to tpginternship@microsoft.com to apply. Questions about the program can also be sent to the same email address.
Best regards, Carolyn
