NTI is pleased to
offer paid ($15.00 per hour) remote internships
for the summer 2021 semester. NTI also welcomes applicants from
University-sponsored internship programs. The number of positions and areas of
responsibility vary by semester, but each offers exciting opportunities to work
on projects that make lasting contributions to reducing threats of weapons of
mass destruction and disruption (WMDD), with an emphasis on nuclear,
radiological, and biological risks, as well as related risks associated with
advances in technology.
NTI internships
are especially well suited to undergraduate or graduate students with an
interest in the intersection of global affairs, public policy, science,
engineering, and national security. While an intern’s primary focus will be on
NTI activities and projects, we encourage our interns to participate virtually
in relevant congressional hearings, briefings at think tanks, or other career
enhancing opportunities, and to develop their professional network throughout the
internship. NTI provides each intern an opportunity to build a relationship
with a mentor in addition to a day-to-day manager to ensure the intern receives
regular guidance and feedback. NTI regularly hosts internal “brown bag”
sessions and seminars open to the public, which all interns are encouraged to participate.
NTI interns play
critical roles on our teams, working to advance our mission objectives while
learning more about the WMDD community in the process. Responsibilities can
include research and analytic support, assisting with event logistics and
support, and administrative tasks necessary for accomplishing team objectives.
NTI seeks
candidates able to commit to an internship duration of at least twelve weeks
and can dedicate at least 16 hours per week remotely during the academic year. NTI
looks for talented individuals who bring diverse perspectives, exceptional
interpersonal skills and strong organizational, writing, and communication
skills. Selectees will be expected to attend a formal onboarding session
conducted by Human Resources on day one. If you have special scheduling
circumstances you would like us to take in consideration (e.g., ROTC tour),
please advise within your application.
NTI is accepting
applications from those who have/will have completed at least two years of
undergraduate studies at the time of the internship’s commencement. The deadline for submission is March 8, 2021 for full consideration for our next Intern Session to begin on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 and conclude no later than Friday, August 27, 2021.
Please note that we are unable to respond to individual inquiries by
phone or email about the status of your application. We do, however, aim to be
in touch with each applicant during our review process or soon thereafter.
Thank you for your interest in joining the NTI team!
NTI is proud to be
an equal opportunity employer and encourages people of all background and
identities to apply. All applicants will be considered without attention to
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal
appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, familial status,
family responsibilities, political affiliation, genetic information,
disability, or any other quality or circumstance protected by Federal or D.C.

NTI remains in
a remote work status for all of our employees and interns due to the COVID-19
pandemic. This internship session will remain remote for its
entirety.
At this time, NTI cannot accept applications from individuals who do not have a legal right to work in the United States and who do not hold residency in the United States during the duration of the internship. In addition, NTI is not a
registered employer in the state of California and therefore unable to hire a
candidate that will be living in and working from that state. We
apologize for this exclusion while we remain in remote status.
NTI is also not
able to provide employment sponsorship for its intern positions.
