Winter/Spring Internships Available NOW!

A Day In the Life of the Intern
Our Interns use a wide array of research tools, along with their own research skills, to conduct thorough review of public records and open sources to accurately identify references on subjects of interest. A successful Intern applies analytical skills to determine relevance and importance of all findings, which are compiled in a professionally written, narrative-style report for our clients, who rely on our research and analysis to gain insight into subjects’ background, reputation and status so they can make accurate, key business decisions. Interns will work mostly under the guidance of an Analyst or Senior Analyst but, with proven skills and interest, may be able to handle work on a more independent basis.
What you will do:
- Conduct research into subjects by using a variety of Internet-based resources and tools.
- Correctly identify relevant information and conduct additional research, where / when necessary, so as to provide all findings in correct context.
- Comprehend details of research findings and correctly analyze / summarize their significance.
- Create well-written, narrative-style reports that “tell a story” and show understanding of who the subjects are and any issues / concerns.
What you bring:
- Current graduate student or recent grad, preferably majoring in International Relations, Humanities, Political Science, English, History or another related field.
- Professional level of reading fluency/proficiency in a foreign language preferred – Arabic, German, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Hebrew, Spanish, Russian, or French.
- Must be available to work a minimum of 24 hours per week.
