IDS International offers exceptional internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Internships last approximately 6-12 months and provide individuals a rewarding, hands-on experience in a small, fast paced defense firm. Internships are offered during the fall, winter/spring, and summer sessions with training provided towards the beginning of each period. The duration of internships can range from 3 months to 6 months and longer. Interns interact with IDS staff from around the world and have the opportunity for in-depth learning in particular areas, as well as broad exposure to the DC policymaking and defense community.
All applicants must have prior experience in a professional office setting as well as excellent writing, research, organizational, and computer skills. Positions are unpaid with a modest stipend and require a commitment of three months full-time (or the part-time equivalent at a minimum of 20 hours/week).
Please submit your cover letter and resume to the appropriate address. The subject line must include the Position, Session, and Year of interest (example: Internship Summer 2009). Applications must be received by the application deadline.
