    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 some 250 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

    The associate director of publications plays a leadership role in advancing CSIS's publications process as part of the External Relations department.

    CSIS publishes hundreds of digital and print reports and shorter analyses annually written by our in-house scholars whose expertise is highly sought after in informing and shaping ongoing national security and international affairs policymaking.
