INTERNS NEEDED FOR THE SPRING

[Lisa Marina Brooks <lbrooks@essential.org>]

  Internship Announcement for January to May 1997
  
  Deadline December 15, 1996
  
  
  	PUBLIC CITIZEN'S CRITICAL MASS ENERGY PROJECT
  
  Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project was founded by Ralph Nader 
  in 1974 to oppose nuclear power and promote cleaner, safer energy 
  alternatives.  Our work includes researching and writing studies on 
  energy issues, lobbying Congress, monitoring the relevant federal and 
  state agencies, initiating litigation, and working with the press and 
  citizen groups nationwide.
  
  	INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
  
  DUTIES:  Our internship program emphasizes substantive projects.  These 
  often include researching and writing a report on some energy-related 
  policy or legal matter.  They may also include helping in a lobbying 
  campaign, working with the media, and/or providing assistance to local 
  safe energy organizations.  Interns will be asked to help out with some 
  administrative tasks, but these duties will take less than 20% of the 
  intern's time.
  
  SUPERVISION:  Each intern is assigned to work with a member of the 
  full-time Critical Mass staff who will provide general supervision and 
  serve as a resource.  However, given the nature of our work, it is 
  important that interns have the ability and the desire to work independently.
  
  DURATION:  At least 10 weeks.
  
  COMPENSATION/CREDIT:  Unfortunately, our limited means preclude us from 
  paying any stipend, other than the employer's portion of a work-study 
  grant.  However, we will be happy to arrange academic credit where a 
  school program allows it.
  
  LOCATION:  Our office is on Capitol Hill, about 2 blocks from the U.S. 
  Capitol, across the street from the Library of Congress.
  
  QUALIFICATIONS:  Strong research and writing skills, and a commitment to 
  the protection of the environment and consumers.
