PAID Summer Opportunity at Georgetown

Apply by March 6th for the Pre-Doctoral Summer Institute

The Government Department at Georgetown University will host its second annual one-week Political Science Predoctoral Summer Institute (PS-PSI) from June 12 to 16, 2023

Applications are open now and close on March 6th.

The goals of the PS-PSI are to increase the diversity of applicants to political science PhD programs, boost the acceptance rate of under-represented students, enhance the diversity of students in those programs, and augment inclusion and equity in the discipline.

The PS-PSI pays for your travel expenses and for your lodging at Georgetown, and provides you with a $1,000 stipend. We offer you relevant materials in advance of the PS-PSI to help you prepare; provide the materials you will use at the Institute; and connect you with excellent resources to help you continue your path forward after the Institute


The PS-PSI will include substantive elements (e.g., introducing the content and methods of political science) and practical elements (e.g., assisting participants to prepare strong applications for graduate programs). Participants will also share their ideas about research directions. The PS-PSI will involve significant mentoring and networking with current faculty and PhD students from Georgetown. 

Rising juniors and seniors majoring in political science or related fields at colleges and universities in DC, DE, MD, VA, and WV are welcome to apply to the PS-PSI. PS-PSI is designed for those students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in political science.
