Internships and Positions
Founded in 1979, Student Pugwash USA (SPUSA) is
a national non-profit organization that promotes the socially responsible
use of science and technology in the 21st century.
As a student organization, Student Pugwash USA encourages young
people to examine the ethical, social, and global implications of
science and technology, and to make these concerns a leading focus
of their academic and professional endeavors. We are the U.S. student
affiliate of the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization, Pugwash
Conferences on Science and World Affairs. Student Pugwash USA is
one of over 20 national Student and Young Pugwash groups around
the world.
SPUSA offers educational tools that are interdisciplinary, intergenerational,
and international in scope, reflecting a belief that all citizens
share a responsibility to ensure that science and technology are
utilized for the benefit of humankind. Our work is organized around
several topics each year, which have included proliferation of weapons
of mass destruction; genetics and race; privacy and the use of technology;
national security and scientific research; and space policy. SPUSA
respects diverse perspectives and does not adopt advocacy positions
on issues.
*All internships include a small stipend to defray travel and lunch costs
