The Atlantic Council seeks a driven, self-directed, intellectually curious, and enterprising researcher, with writing, editing, research, organizational, and upward management skills to serve as Research Assistant to the President and CEO.

This individual will primarily be responsible for research work regarding the President and CEO's latest book project. Foreign and domestic travel to archives will be a key part of this role, as will fluency in speaking and reading German. This individual will be responsible for finding and incorporating primary source documents, fact-checking the President and CEO's work related to the book project, and ensuring the President and CEO has the necessary materials available to complete the book on schedule.

A two-year commitment is encouraged, to see the book project to completion.

Archival research experience is required, as the position demands long-term historical research work on a book project. Those with a background in journalism are especially encouraged to apply. This role requires experience writing and editing against tight deadlines, with a clear understanding of how to edit within the confines of a style guide. The position also demands excellent communication, organizational, and analytical skills.

This may occasionally include work on the weekends and on evenings.

Moreover, this individual must be a highly capable self-starter with a demonstrated aptitude for analytical thinking, exceptional writing, effective editing, and communication skills. They must also be comfortable working in an ever-changing environment while managing multiple projects as a core member of a collaborative, high-impact Executive Office team.

This position will be located in Washington, DC on a hybrid schedule. Pay is commensurate with experience, education, and organizational equity, with offers starting at $65,000. Applications submitted by April 1, 2024, will be prioritized for consideration.

Responsibilities Include:

* Extensive work in archives and ability to read and apply primary source documents in German and English to the President and CEO's current book project.
