Calling would-be policy nerds.
The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation runs a year-long program "to identify up and coming leaders and entrepreneurs interested in liberty." It then helps them "develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for careers in market-oriented think tanks, policy institute, and other non-profit organizations."

The associates, who are paid, work in various think tanks in Washington DC, and take classes in "Market-based management." The foundation serves as a career development and networking facilitator after the 12 months are up.

Applications are due by March 1, 2007. Applicants must have 10 or fewer years of professional experience. If you know someone who might find this a good opportunity, send them this link.

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
