Baseball Prospectus is looking for interns for 2011.  We're looking for applicants for the spring (or immediately, if available now) and summer academic quarters.  Before applying, please ensure that you can devote at least 10 hours per week to tasks including, but not limited to, interesting and rewarding baseball stuff.  Internships are unpaid other than the famous free Baseball Prospectus Premium subscription for life, and you must receive college credit for your internship.

Baseball Prospectus interns have the opportunity to do great things. Editorial interns will immediately contribute to the operations of a site that publishes dozens of articles per week.  Many interns have contributed bylined content during their internships, and others have worked extensively on Baseball Prospectus book projects.  One of them even turned into Boy Wonder Ben Lindbergh.  Technical interns can lead the production on complete durable products, as former BP super-intern Ben Murphy did with the Player Forecast Manager. Baseball Prospectus interns have gone on to work part- or full-time in the industry, and there are many former Baseball Prospectus interns in front offices around the major leagues.
 
Please be sure your application email includes the period you wish to work.

No comments yet? Dave, I think you may have scared off all of the potential interns by telling them they might turn into me.

The "college credit" disclaimer makes it a wee bit harder.

Where are these internships based? and is there a deadline for applying?

As a former intern, I can fill you in a bit.

Everything is done from the comfort of your home. As far as a deadline though, you'd have to find out from someone a bit more in the know on that one.

As Brandon said, you'll work from the comfort of your own bunny slippers unless you're close enough to a BP staffer to get them their drycleaning.

No hard deadline, but we have a limited number of openings and we tend to get a lot of applicants every time we post something like this.

I'd totally apply if getting college credit wasn't a requirement. Wish they had this program 15 years ago.

The college credit thing is relatively recent. BP didn't require college credit two or three years ago.

Doing work for BP for free? Sure. Paying a school thousands of dollars to work for free? Uh, not so much.

Good luck, already-students.

Can I ask why getting college credit is a requirement?

How I wish I would have seen this seven years ago. Do someone a favor and send this to any college students you know.
