Thank you for your interest in working with CDDRL!
The following tabs list our current job and research opportunities for Stanford students. If there are no current opportunities, please check back soon for new postings.
CDDRL is pleased to invite applications for its 2024 summer undergraduate research program through funding provided by Stanford’s Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and CDDRL.
CDDRL is offering one 10-week full-time (40 hours per week) summer research assistantship from June 24 through August 30, 2023. This opportunity is ideal for undergraduates interested in the politics and economics of developing countries. They will have the opportunity to interact with global leaders and democracy activists as well as CDDRL/FSI faculty, scholars, and the larger research community.
The CDDRL summer intern will conduct research on a faculty-designed project with faculty mentor Dr. Kathryn Stoner, Mosbacher Director of CDDRL.
They will also intern in our Fisher Family Summer Fellows Program on Democracy and Development, a three-week training program hosted at Stanford for mid-career practitioners from transitioning countries who are working to advance democratic practices and economic and legal reform in contexts where freedom, human development, and good governance are fragile or at risk.
Research Project: The RA will help compile short research papers on each country represented by Fellows in the program. They may also be asked to assist in some of the writing and slide presentations that faculty at CDDRL will prepare for the program, as well as doing some research for ongoing projects on Russia’s authoritarianism with Professor Stoner.
How to Apply: The research award will be based on a competitive application process. We encourage students from all areas of study to apply. Interested students should submit their application, resume, and statement of interest, following the guidelines given below, before Friday, March 15, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Decisions regarding awards will be announced by email by April 1, 2024.
Stipend Amount: Selected undergraduate RA will receive a stipend of $7,500 for the period.
