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.ย  Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of some 200 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

The CSIS Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies seeks to answer vitally important questions about the future of Artificial Intelligence and its implications for the global economy and international security.

CSISโ€™ Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies is hiring a motivated intern with a demonstrated interest in the future of emerging technologies for the summer semester. Internships are seasonal and typically last three to six months. The Wadhwani Center produces research, analysis, and recommendations to equip policymakers, government officials, and the public with a better understanding of rapidly evolving emerging technology ecosystems and their impacts on the global economy, geopolitical dynamics, and international security. Interns work closely with Wadhwani Center team members in research, event management, and program communications. Candidates should be motivated, professional, and have a strong interest in emerging technology issues, especially relating to AI.

The hired candidate will be paid hourly, commensurate with experience ($17.00/hour for current undergraduate hires, $18.00/hour for hires with a bachelorโ€™s degree, and $19.00/hour for hires with a masterโ€™s degree).
