INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY at THE MARKLE FOUNDATION
The Markle Foundation, a New York based private and independent
foundation, is currently seeking a paid research intern to assist the
Chief of Research with research, editing and administrative tasks.  
Emerging communications media and information technology create
unprecedented opportunity to improve people's lives. The Markle
Foundation works to realize this potential by accelerating the use of
information and information technology to address public needs,
particularly in Health and National Security. We collaborate with
innovators and thought leaders from the public and private sectors whose
expertise lies in the areas of information technology, privacy, civil
liberties, innovation, health, and national security. This has enabled
Markle and our collaborators to offer comprehensive recommendations for
sectoral change, many of which have become law through acts of Congress
and by executive order. More at http://www.markle.org/
