Summer Intern, Europe Center

Our interns are an integral part of the Europe Center. Team projects are all-hands-on-deck. The Europe Center seeks to understand change in Europe, galvanize leadership, and forge a strategy of renewal, deepening the Atlantic Council's impact in an area that has always been central to our mission. The center conducts high-level convening and cutting-edge research to promote engagement between policymakers, economic leaders, and citizens on both sides of the Atlantic;

promote rising leaders; and develop common solutions to defend our liberal democracies.

This position will expose the candidate to the logistical and administrative elements of event-planning, the writing process for publications and articles, and designing strategic initiatives within a think tank. The intern will assist in the Europe Center's fast-paced programming at the forefront of transatlantic relations, as well as development tasks and outreach to its close network of Europe experts, officials, and thought leaders.

Successful candidates will have a passion for European affairs and a collegial spirit while also being an effective communicator who is willing to learn and grow in an organization. Demonstrated interest in Europe, the European Union, transatlantic relations, and NATO through classwork and/or experience is preferred.

This internship is based in our Washington, DC headquarters, requiring a minimum of 4 days per week in office. The summer intern will be compensated at a rate of $18.50 per hour.
