We have openings beginning in spring/summer 2006 for one or more

statistical analysis skills, combined with strong technical writing
abilities. The ability to conduct statistical analysis of testing and
assessment data is critical to the role, as well as prior experience
working with large data sets. Strong planning and organizing skills are
also essential to the role. In addition to participating in core tasks
related to assessment research and validation, opportunities exist for
interns to complete DDI training courses, and to make important
contributions toward a wide range of projects occurring within DDI.
Recent internship projects have included:
*
Full participation in over 50 criterion-related validation
studies, from study planning to results presentation
