Job description

JOB SUMMARY:

At CSIS we actively seek to employ a diverse group of people who embody our organizational values. We welcome and encourage individuals of all backgrounds to apply, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of approximately 250 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

CSIS seeks an intern to support the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) with research efforts on a range of nuclear issues, as well as outreach and communication efforts. Interns support the operational and substantive goals of PONI and will contribute to initiatives to develop the next generation of nuclear experts. The PONI intern will provide research on deterrence, arms control, and disarmament and support PONI programming and events. They will also help maintain the Next Generation Nuclear Network website, help manage PONI’s external communications and social media accounts and provide general administrative support to the team. Interns have the opportunity to produce an independent research product for the Next Generation Nuclear Network website.

Please note this is an in-person and full‑time position. Because of the fast‑paced work environment, interns should be motivated self‑starters that enjoy a wide variety of research, analytic, and logistics work.

The hired candidate will be paid hourly, commensurate with experience ($17.50/hour for current undergraduate hires, $18.50/hour for hires with a bachelor’s degree, and $19.50/hour for hires with a master’s degree).

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide research support to PONI staff for ongoing projects on deterrence, arms control, disarmament, and other nuclear weapons policy issues.
• Support events related to various research projects.
• Develop programming for PONI’s Nuclear Scholars Initiative and Mid‑Career Cadre.
• Compile the Nuclear Policy News mailing three times a week.
• Support PONI’s outreach efforts, including drafting content for social media.
• Produce an independent research product for the Next Generation Nuclear Network blog.

KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION, AND EXPERIENCE:

• Must be at least a college junior in good standing, a graduate student, or a recent graduate.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States.
• Strong analytic and writing skills.
• Interest and knowledge of issues related to nuclear weapons.
• Strong communication skills and social media proficiency.
• Ability to work independently and on a team.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and multiple projects under tight deadlines.
• Must be available for an in‑person and full‑time (35 hours/week) work schedule.
