2 days ago
Job description
Overview
The Critical Threats Project, led by Senior Fellow Frederick W. Kagan, tracks and analyzes current and emerging challenges to American national security. An intern will work with Africa Team Lead Liam Karr to support the project's research on US national security interests in Africa, including state powers such as China, Iran, and Russia and non-state groups like the Islamic State and al Qaeda. Research will include open-source tracking and analysis of key state and non-state actors and related political and security dynamics across the continent, especially in the Horn of Africa, West Africa, and the Great Lakes region. Interns will also assist in research and production tasks for the weekly Africa File newsletter, mapping updates, and other long-term projects.
The internship includes educational modules for developing intelligence analysis tradecraft. Interested candidates should demonstrate strong writing and analytical skills, the ability to conduct independent research, and the ability to work on a team. Initiative, dedication to the project's mission, an excellent work ethic, technological proficiency, creativity, and a genuine interest in Africa are highly valued. The ability to read and research in French, Arabic, or other languages commonly spoken on the continent is a plus but not required.
Candidates who can intern 40 hours per week in person are preferred. Hours must fall within normal business hours in Eastern time from Monday through Friday. Please include your weekly availability for the position in your cover letter.
