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.
Energy, Economics, and Security: Target start date: January 2023
The Energy, Economics, and Security (EES) Intern will support EES in its analysis of the present and future challenges associated with the use of coercive tools of economic statecraft, including sanctions and export controls, as these measures become more frequent in use and an indispensable component of the U.S. national security toolkit. The intern will contribute to the program's sanctions tracking database, assisting in quantitative data analysis and written deliverables on a variety of topics which can include export controls, sanctions enforcement and evasions tactics, financial technology, virtual currencies, and global illicit financial crime. EES studies the broad array of U.S. sanctions policies, with a specific geographic focus on measures against North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia and thematic emphasis on global illicit finance issues like countering terrorist financing and proliferation finance. The EES team also analyzes the implications of the escalating U.S.-China economic competition and what economic tools are available to both sides. Ideal candidates are detail-orientated individuals with strong verbal and communication skills, familiarity with coercive economic measures, and a genuine interest to contribute the work of the EES team. Strong preference will be given to candidates with previous work experience or significant coursework in the aforementioned fields, but all are welcome to apply. Individuals possessing foreign language skills are highly encouraged to apply. 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. http://ow.ly/30xU50Km9Ap
