All who are selected to participate in CFR’s Blavatnik Internship Program and Robina Franklin Williams Internship Program receive training in the field of foreign policy and international affairs as well as skills training in writing, research, program planning, and much more.
The intern will have the opportunity to conduct research on current foreign policy topics, improve their research, writing, editing and critical thinking skills. This internship will focus heavily on current and historical research for short and long term projects on Middle East politics and security, and the intern will assist in all research and logistical tasks. The intern will work closely with the research associate on all assignments and improve their ability to think critically on the Middle East.
CFR internships are paid, require a 14 - 18 hour commitment, and are filled on a rolling basis.
