- Currently pursuing or having recently completed a BA or MA
- Experience conducting independent research, particularly on climate resilience, international affairs, econometrics and/or geospatial analysis with a focus on national security
- Experience building databases
- Demonstrated ability to use a variety of open-source research methods to identify emerging trends and key issues
- Demonstrated ability to work well both independently and as part of a team and to meet deadlines

- Excellent analysis, writing, and briefing skills
- Skills in foreign-language research are strongly desired. Target languages include Arabic, French, Spanish, and Chinese. Other languages are desired, as well.
