Through the support of donors, the Catt Center offers paid internships to undergraduate students to work on special projects, events, or research sponsored by the center. In some cases, these internships can be used to fulfill an internship requirement for a major.
Most internships are fall through spring of an academic year, though sometimes internships are available in the summer. Positions are typically filled in late spring for the following academic year, but sometimes internships are available to start in January. Applications must be submitted via the online application form (link in the position descriptions).
The internships include:
- Andrew Goodman Foundation Ambassador (PDF) (position filled for the 2024-25 academic year)
- Archives of Women’s Political Communication (PDF) (position filled for the 2024-25 academic year)
- Public Relations/Event Planning (PDF) (position filled for the 2024-25 academic year)
- Student Voter Engagement (PDF) (position filled for the 2024-25 academic year)
- Women in Iowa Politics Database/Gender Balance Project (PDF) (position filled for the 2024-25 academic year)
The center may also hire graduate assistants, based on the needs of the center.
Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year will open in early March.
