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.
Technology and National Security:
Target start date: December 2022
The Technology and National Security Program explores the policy challenges associated with rapid developments in artificial intelligence, 5G, autonomy and unmanned systems, digital infrastructure, and networking and social media. A key focus of the program is bringing together the technology and policy communities to better understand these challenges and together develop solutions. The intern will work with the team to support ongoing efforts such as the AI Task Force, the Digital Freedom Forum, and the U.S. National Technology Strategy initiative. Duties center on program support including event planning, administrative support, and social media outreach, in addition to some research tasks. Ideal candidates will have a track record of high-quality writing, research, and organizational and time management skills. The applicant must be detail oriented and a creative and motivated self-starter. Interns are encouraged to complete a written product, such as an op-ed, under their own byline during their six-month internship. 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.
