We're looking for a motivated Research Intern to support ongoing research into the political, economic, and social dynamics of a specific geographic region. This is a great prospect for students or early-career professionals interested in geopolitics, international relations, political risk analysis, foreign policy, or area studies to gain hands-on research experience.

What You'll Do

- Conduct in-depth desk research using academic journals, government publications, think tank reports, and reputable media sources
- Analyze political, economic, historical, and social developments within the region
- Prepare clear, concise research briefs, memos, and reports for internal use
- Track and organize sources, ensuring proper citation and documentation
- Monitor news and identify emerging trends, risks, and key developments
- Support broader research and policy analysis projects as needed

Who We're Looking For Students or recent graduates from backgrounds such as:

- Political Science
- International Relations / Global Affairs
- Geography
- History




- Public Policy / Public Administration
- Economics (with an interest in geopolitics or international economics)
- Security Studies / Area Studies (also welcome)

Skills That Matter Most

- Strong research and information-gathering skills
- Analytical and critical thinking ability
- Clear, structured writing (briefs, summaries, reports)
- Attention to detail and source credibility assessment
- Curiosity about global affairs and current events

Prior regional expertise is a plus but not required - we're prioritizing research ability and analytical writing over subject-matter familiarity.

Internship Details

- Duration: 30 days
- Compensation: This is an unpaid internship
- What you'll receive: Internship Completion Certificate, mentorship, and a Letter of Recommendation (if performance is strong), along with practical research experience and portfolio-worthy writing samples
