Internships:
Ceres actively seeks to engage interns in our work. We have a number of exciting projects going at any one time and find the logistical, research, analysis, and writing support of interns to be of great value. We also hope working here inspires the next generation of professionals to "transform the economy to build a sustainable future for people and the planet."
Ceres hires a combination of undergraduate and graduate students, and that is often dictated by the projects we are managing. There are three times throughout the year when we solicit applications from potential interns.
Fall Internships
Each August, Ceres looks for candidates who would like to intern in our office, in one of our program areas, from mid-September through mid-December. During the fall session, interns will work between 10-15 hours a week. (This is adapted to work with class or other work schedules.) The pay rate is $15.00 an hour in our Boston office, and $15.59 in our San Francisco office. We generally hire about 8-10 individuals between the two offices.
Spring Internships
Each December through early January, Ceres searches for individuals to intern in our office, from mid-January through mid-May. These interns will work between 10-15 hours a week. The pay rate is $15.00 an hour in our Boston office, and $15.59 in our San Francisco office. During this time, we also hire about 8-10 individuals between the two offices.
How to Apply
Should you be interested in working as an intern at Ceres, please apply online during the times noted, and provide us with a cover letter, resume, and two writing samples.
