JINSA Internship Programs

JINSA offers full- and part-time policy internship opportunities throughout the year to work on research that informs the organization’s written products. Interns may be remote or in-person. Prospective interns should be hard working, enthusiastic, and flexible individuals who possess strong research skills, writing ability, and a working knowledge of U.S. national security and Middle East policy.

Duties primarily include providing short- and long-term research for memos and reports. Interns have the opportunity of working closely with JINSA staff to improve their skills, critical thinking, and knowledge of the Middle East. Writing opportunities may be available for selected interns with demonstrable writing capabilities.

There are no deadlines for application, and JINSA accepts applications on a rolling basis. If you are interested in joining a positive environment dedicated to American security, please send a cover letter, resume, transcript, 3-5 page writing sample, and references to Ari Cicurel at acicurel@jinsa.org and include “Internship” in the subject. No phone calls, please.

Our Mission

The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) is dedicated to advancing U.S. national security interests in the Middle East, of which a critical pillar is a robust U.S.-Israel security relationship. JINSA believes that Israel is the most capable and critical U.S. security partner in the 21st century and that a strong America is the best guarantor of Western civilization.

JINSA advances its mission by conducting both educational programs that build ties among American, Israeli and other Middle Eastern partner military leaders, along with in-depth research and actionable recommendations to influence U.S. policy.
