Work with PolicyMap this Summer!
We’re interested in talking to people who want to work with our Data Team to help make PolicyMap as powerful, innovative and indispensable to our users as possible. If you’re looking for a summer job, join our team!
We’re looking for nerds who can work independently and who want to learn a lot. Before you apply, here are some core values that sum up the PolicyMap experience. If this is you, let us know!
Love maps. Needless to say, we are all about maps, and strive every day to make compelling, accurate geospatial representations of the issues our users care about: health, the economy, poverty, housing, you name it.
Not afraid of data. Our fearless data team tackles all types of tangled-up tabular information on the regular! We clean it, process it, turn it into useful indicators, and write descriptions and blogs to help all sorts of people understand and use these important data in their work.
Interest in programming (without the bro). Interns will have a chance to build and hone SQL coding skills, and we have the flexibility to use other programming languages in our work depending on interest and applicability. All within a diverse, nonjudgmental environment where we learn together and have FUN!
Eagle eye for detail. Validation, validation, validation. It’s a huge part of what we do, and precision is super important to us. Is it exhausting? Sometimes. But we think perfection is worth the eye strain. (And when we’re done, we treat ourselves to ice cream!)
We’re in search of undergraduates and recent graduates to help us with our work. Email us your resume and a cover letter if this sounds like a good fit for you!
