November 18, 2024

JOB SUMMARY:
At CSIS we actively seek to employ a diverse group of people who embody our organizational values. We welcome and encourage individuals of all backgrounds to apply, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of approximately 250 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

The iDeas Lab, the award-winning creative and digital production department at CSIS, seeks highly motivated and creative candidates for a full-time, six-month multimedia production internship with our dynamic and fast-paced team in Washington D.C. beginning November 2024. Responsibilities will focus primarily on video production assignments, as well as audio production for our suite of podcasts. The iDeas Lab enhances CSIS's policy research and analysis with the latest in audio, video, design, and web products. You can see some of our work at /csis.org/podcasts (or at /csis.org/dracopoulos-ideas-lab and on ***/user/csisdc). The iDeas Lab is a creative environment made up of three major sub-teams - video/audio production, web development, and design. We are a highly collaborative team and often use our skills and passion in many different creative arenas.

The multimedia production intern will primarily support the multimedia producers while also working with the other iDeas Lab sub-teams, supporting a range of creative efforts across the spectrum of CSIS issue areas. We are looking for a creative, energetic, self-starter who has a passion for video and a strong desire to experience the many different facets and phases of digital media production. The multimedia production intern will work closely with the entire department on creative projects that partner with some of the
most respected foreign policy experts and researchers in the world to tell compelling public policy stories. The internship is structured to provide aspiring professionals with practical experience and hard-skill building, and to add content to their professional portfolios.

The hired candidate will be paid hourly, commensurate with experience ($17.50/hour for current undergraduate hires, $18.50/hour for hires with a bachelor's degree, and $19.50/hour for hires with a master's degree).
