Remote Internship: Data and Creative Digital Publications

The Law Library of Congress seeks interns for creating visual data research and creative writing publications that will provide access to legal material on the Law Library of Congress website. Interns will work part-time, remotely, and independently, in a mostly asynchronous setting. The project will focus on researching a topic of interest to create a dataset for a story map or write an article for our blog. Training will be provided, especially on writing neutrally and informationally in the AP style, picking authenticated sources, and using hyperlinks to source material. Finished projects will be reviewed for potential publication on the Law Library's website. There will be opportunities for engagement and webinars for project and professional development, generally at 1pm EDT four days per week. Some of them will be required and the others will be optional but highly recommended.

This is a summer program, that is remote, mostly asynchronous, and part-time. Applications will be accepted from January 30th through April 17th, 2023. The program will begin May 15th and end August 4th. This 12-week program will have flexibility for alternative schedules. This is a part-time program, with interns generally working 8-10 hours per week.

Please use the subject line “Remote Creative Projects Application” to submit a résumé and a short cover letter in the body of your email to drd@loc.gov during the open application period. The short cover letter should address any experience in data research or writing creatively, as well as your interests in law, history, and government. Graduate students in library and information sciences or law students are given priority, but all graduate students, graduates, and those wishing to volunteer are welcome to apply.
