Our work would not be possible without the dedication of young professionals driven by a career in public policy and international security. OTAP is at its heart a meritocracy, and we pride ourselves on quickly promoting those who show initiative.

Who Is Eligible?

Eligible candidates must meet 3 requirements:
1.) Commit to at least 3 months for the internship program
2.) Be willing to write 2 policy briefs or 2 threat assessments per month (3 - 5 pages, each with citations)
3.) Be aware that constant communication and engagement with the team is a must

If you cannot commit to writing policy briefs or threat assessments at this time, we also offer positions on the editing team, with editors being credited below each publication they work on. At the end of the minimum 3-month period, we will be happy to write a reference letter based on your performance.
