Internships
The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a Capitol Hill-based non-profit research organization concerned with nuclear arms reduction and non-proliferation, seeks qualified undergraduate and graduate students or recent graduates for a full-time internship position for the Fall 2012 term.
Since our inception in 1993, we have produced award-winning and internationally recognized assessments of secret nuclear weapons programs in Iran, Syria, Iraq, North Korea, South Africa and elsewhere. We have compiled comprehensive estimates of global stocks of nuclear explosive materials, and continue to seek a global production cutoff of these materials for weapons. We have also provided critical information in support of efforts to reduce the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and production complex, to make nuclear programs more transparent, to end nuclear testing, and to prevent the future development of new types of nuclear weapons by all countries.
Intern Qualifications: Qualified applicants should have some background in the international relations / national security field and an interest in nuclear nonproliferation. Prior intern or job experience not required. Applicants should have a working knowledge of Windows-based software, including Microsoft Word, Power Point and Excel. HTML coding and website management experience a plus.
Tasks Include: Attending and reporting on nuclear related events and meetings, attending Congressional hearings and similar events; drafting research memos and fact sheets for senior staff; working on long-term ISIS projects and reports; assisting with ISIS workshops and conferences; and helping with the management of ISIS’s website and distribution of ISIS publications.
Hours and Pay: Full-time preferred, but all applications are welcome and will be considered. A generous stipend is offered. Non-US citizens are welcome to apply.
