Job Opportunities

We are in the midst of growing our team. Although there are no full-time openings at the moment, check back regularly for updates.

MacroPolo is committed to cultivating the next generation of talent. Our competitive and paid internship positions offer a unique experience for currently matriculated students and recent graduates to work full-time at our Chicago headquarters. 

We invite applications from two types of candidates: researchers and creatives.   

For those interested in the research track, you should have a clear idea of how your interest aligns with our core areas of politics, economy, technology, and energy. For those interested in the creative track, you should have or want to develop skills in design, marketing and distribution, web development, or multimedia.

We look for candidates with diverse skills, including language proficiency, quantitative analysis, illustration and design, computer science, writing and communication, among others. Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese may be desirable for certain research roles, but not essential depending on other qualifications.

We accept internship applications on a rolling basis throughout the year, as well as for specific openings that tend to start in the summer. We are currently accepting applications for specific positions as briefly described below, expected to start in June. If you have a preference for a specific role, please state that clearly in your cover letter.

To apply, please send, as separate attachments, a one-page cover letter, a one-page résumé, and a sample of relevant work to info@macropolo.org.
