Internship Opportunities
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a nonpartisan policy institute dedicated exclusively to promoting pluralism, defending democratic values, and fighting the ideologies that threaten democracy. The organization was founded shortly after 9/11 by a group of visionary philanthropists and policymakers to engage in the worldwide war of ideas and to support the defense of democratic societies under assault by terrorism and militant Islamism. FDD combines policy research, investigative journalism, strategic communications, and democracy and counterterrorism education.
About FDD's Internship Program
Based in downtown Washington, D.C., the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has a number of internship opportunities available. All FDD interns will have the opportunity to participate in a twice-monthly speaker series, which brings high-level DC officials and senior staff members to engage with interns in an intimate setting. FDD interns will be encouraged to build on their academic skills by working closely with senior staff. FDD is also happy to assist students who wish to earn academic credit for this internship. All internships are unpaid.
*FDD's Russia Research program will move forward with both hybrid and remote internship options for the summer 2024 semester.*
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. It is recommended that interested candidates submit applications early. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Russia Research
The Russia Research Program is seeking full-time and part-time interns. Interns will work closely with Dr. Ivana Stradner, research fellow and advisor to FDD's Barish Center for Media Integrity, and John Hardie, deputy director of FDD's Russia Program, to conduct research on projects related to Russia. Projects will focus on topics including Russia's information operations, cybersecurity, international organizations, the Russian military, Russia's war in Ukraine, and Western economic warfare with Russia. Those with an interest in Russia and foreign policy are strongly encouraged to apply. FDD is looking for interns with research experience and strong writing skills. The ability to conduct research in a foreign language - particularly Russian or Ukrainian - is a plus but not required.
