Census Bureau Internships - For Graduating Seniors

The Census Bureau's Demographic Directorate just posted its annual internship vacancy announcement. See below for more details. 

Students must already have at minimum a bachelor's degree. Also, this is not geography-specific, but anyone with background in "sociology, economics, survey design or data collection, demographic analysis, data science, project and schedule management, and/or quantitative analysis of large datasets" should see if they qualify.

The Demographic Directorate is recruiting for summer interns through the following two announcements
ADDP-2019-0007 [Duty location - Census Bureau Headquarters in Suitland Maryland, outside of Washington D.C.]
Direct link is also available here.
ADDP-2019-0008 [Duty location - Jeffersonville, Indiana]
Direct link here.

We are recruiting at the GS-1599, Grade, 7, 9, and 11 levels (bachelor's degree obtained and higher). The announcements opened on Monday March 4, 2019 and will close at 11:59 pm ET on Monday March 11, 2019 or when the application limit is received, whichever come firsts.

Applications are accepted through www.USAJOBS.gov.

Important Application Information:Please read the "qualifications" and "required documents" sections carefully and confirm that all required information is submitted with your application (including educational documentation).
You must provide evidence of current (spring semester or equivalent) enrollment. If you are completing your current program this semester, you must provide a letter of acceptance or proof of enrollment into another qualifying program to be considered eligible for the position(s).
The Jeffersonville position has an educational requirement (listed in the "basic requirements section"). An applicant may need to also upload transcripts or documentation from prior educational programs to show proof of meeting the eligibility requirements.
Please apply to all grade levels for which you wish to be considered (for example, candidates may apply to the GS 7, 9, and 11 announcements if they feel they are qualified for all three).
To be considered for positions in both duty locations, candidates need to apply to both the Suitland and the Jeffersonville announcements.
