Internships are unpaid, however we do offer travel reimbursement and possible academic credit. Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to apply, particularly those concentrating on International Relations, Political Science, or Middle Eastern Studies. Congressional lobbying experience is preferred but not a requirement. Hours per week are roughly 10-20.
Internships are for Fall semester or possible longer.
Application deadline for Fall interns is Sept. 23. The Middle East Institute welcomes applications from undergraduates and recent graduates. Development interns participate in prospect research on corporate and foundation donors and prepare correspondence. The George Camp Keiser Library interns compile bibliographies, research topics for patrons, and answer telephone inquiries on the Middle East. All interns write articles for the MEI Newsletter and assist with the summer Garden Series, autumn Annual Conference, and spring language reception.
