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 explicit, 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 robust), along with practical research experience and portfolio-worthy writing samples
