Internship and Research Assistantship Program

Interns are central to our work. They go on to do cool stuff too!

The Center frequently has internship/research assistantship opportunities, and it greatly values all of the important contributions our interns/research assistants make – both at CTC and during other stages of their careers.

To learn more about our internship/research assistantship offerings and selection process, please visit our Opportunities page.

After their time at CTC, our interns also go on to work in cool places where they continue to make meaningful contributions that benefit and help to advance the counterterrorism, terrorism studies, and security studies fields. A selection of those accomplishments and a list of CTC interns/research assistants who have helped the Center are highlighted below.
