The Middle East Institute
Now accepting applications for
spring internship program, beginning in early January 2015.
MEI offers an array of internship opportunities that engage a wide range of professional interests and talents. On a given day, former Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford's research assistant might conduct open-source news analysis of extremist and moderate Syrian groups on Twitter and YouTube, while our Programs and Communications interns might organize and help host a panel to discuss cultural racketeering and antiquities theft in Egypt. With over 20 intern positions across 7 different departments, we have a variety of positions that attract a very diverse pool of interns.
Although our internships are unpaid, MEI works to ensure that its interns are compensated for their contributions. We offer free language classes, daily travel reimbursement, a year-long subscription to the Middle East Journal, and a series of talks, the Intern Development Series, exclusively dedicated to advancing our interns' professional lives and their knowledge of the region.
