Internship Opportunities
The Middle East Policy Council encourages undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of backgrounds - political science, international relations, history, foreign language, regional studies, communications, and more - to apply for our internships. Interns should expect to gain valuable insight into the inner workings of a nonprofit, while fostering informed and productive policy making towards the Middle East.
MEPC is accepting part-time and full-time applications. Competitive applicants will have demonstrated academic, professional, and/or personal interest in the Middle East.
To apply for an internship, send a cover letter, resume, and a 2-page writing sample (can be an excerpt of a long piece) to the MEPC staff member, as indicated below. Applications for the Winter/Spring 2023 session are accepted on a rolling basis until December 9, 2022.
