Dear Friends,
The Pluralism Project is seeking applications for research internship
positions for summer 2013. Interns will conduct research on the growing
religious diversity of cities across the United States. This "hometown
research" opportunity can be conducted wherever applicants are located and
will include field visits to religious centers, ethnographic interviews,
and weekly intern cohort meetings via Skype. Research projects may be
published in the forthcoming online version of the Pluralism Project's *On
Common Ground: World Religions in America*. Applications are sought from
current undergraduate and graduate students with excellent writing and oral
communication skills. Experience in conducting ethnographic field research
a plus but not required. Interest in (and respect for) diverse religious
communities is a must. Internships are unpaid, although we are happy to
work with candidates to secure academic credit or internship compensation
through their home institution. Please send a letter of interest and a
current resume/CV to staff(a)pluralism.org, attn: Whittney Barth, Assistant
Director. Application deadline is April 23rd, although decisions will be
made on a rolling basis. Internship start and completion dates are flexible
and will be determined in consultation with the cohort, generally late May
through early August.
Since 1991 the Pluralism Project at Harvard University, under the direction
of Dr. Diana Eck, has been researching the changing religious landscape of
America. The Pluralism Project's mission to help Americans engage with the
realities of religious diversity through research, outreach, and the active
dissemination of resources. Learn more at
