The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (OUSD(P)) provides advice and support to the Secretary of Defense and the Department on a wide range of national security and defense policy issues, and represents the Department of Defense in matters involving the National Security Council, the Department of State, and other Federal departments and agencies involved in national security policy.
Internships with OUSD(P) offer the chance to observe and participate in policy-making at the highest levels of the Department of Defense. OUSD(P) has well served by interns who have worked here in previous years, but this year we are particularly interested in attracting a broader diversity of interns, both in terms of groups historically under-represented within our organization as well as students from diverse disciplines that might not typically consider an eventual career with the Department of Defense. Details on applying:
- Interested individuals should apply by March 11, 2016 for summer internships (although internships are available throughout the year). Interns are selected through a competitive process.
- The number of hours worked and schedules are negotiable, and dependent on the intern's school schedule.
- To apply, applicants must submit: (1) a current resume that includes the applicant's expected graduation date; (2) a cover letter identifying the individual as an applicant for the Volunteer Student Internship Program, as well as stating the applicant's career area of interest and the timeframe or dates he/she would be able to work as an intern; and (3) unofficial transcripts that clearly show the applicant's grades and grade-point average.
- Note that volunteer internships do not offer salary, benefits, or conversion to permanent employment, and individuals selected will not be eligible to receive a transit subsidy.
- Interns must be able to qualify for a secret-level clearance, which requires a security background investigation.
- Applicants must also be enrolled at least half-time in an accredited educational institution and in good academic standing (with at least a cumulative 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale).
- Applicants should also have strong writing and editing skills, and have the ability to work in a collaborative environment. Skill in interpreting, analyzing and summarizing data is also desirable, as is familiarity with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat.
Students will spend part of their time in a classroom setting, where they will hear guest lectures from international experts and business leaders, engage in stimulating group discussions, and explore current events. Throughout the course of the semester, students will also complete a guided independent research project, working closely with a Georgetown Research Advisor as they explore a topic of interest and apply the concepts they have learned.
In addition to academic and research pursuits, students will have an opportunity to either spend several days per week at an internship of their choice or take an elective course through the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program. Georgetown offers students a wide range of internship opportunities, including federal agencies, law firms, news organizations, nonprofits, public relations agencies, and many other reputable connections unique to Washington, D.C.*
At the beginning of the semester, students will choose one of six subject areas as a concentration for their internship and research study:
- Digital Communications, New Media, and Social Change
- International Commerce and Trade
- International Relations
- Law, Legislation, and Politics
- Politics and Public Policy
- Religion and Political Culture
Advance the development of future civic-minded leaders by sharing this with your students today! Please encourage interested students to visit www.ReaganFoundation.org/Leadership to learn more about the program and begin an online application.
