The Center for a New American Security Internship: Middle East Security

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) established its flagship internship and mentoring program in honor of Dr. Joseph S. Nye, Jr., who has devoted his career to the preparation and mentoring of generations of Americans and global strategists.

CNAS offers full-time (40 hrs/week) internships for a six-month term. Interns are given a $75 per month transportation stipend and an additional stipend of $1,900 per month intended to help cover daily expenses incurred during the internship. As of September 2021, CNAS personnel have resumed working in our Washington, DC office full-time. Therefore, they are now only accepting applicants who can relocate or are already located in the Washington, DC area.

Middle East Security:

Target start date: February 2023

The Middle East Security Intern will support the Middle East Security (MES) Program in conducting cutting-edge research on the most pressing issues in this turbulent region. The program focuses on the sources of instability in the region, maintaining key U.S. strategic partnerships, and generating solutions that help policymakers respond to both fast-moving events and long-term trends. The program's current research focuses on U.S.-Iran relations, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and U.S. strategy toward the Middle East as a whole. MES is seeking intern candidates that demonstrate a strong analytical ability, possess organization and time management skills, learn quickly, and are enthusiastic about researching U.S. policy toward the Middle East.

Applicants should familiarize themselves with the department's work through the descriptions and information available on the CNAS website. Your cover letter should, in addition to outlining your qualifications, explain why it interests you. Interns work closely with CNAS staff and are given considerable responsibility.
