study program (pursuing a Master's degree or PhD with plans to return to

experience, computing skills, as well as knowledge of languages such as
French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Chinese are advantageous.

provides an allowance towards travel expenses. Interns are responsible
for their own living accommodations. Most positions are located in
Washington, DC (some positions are offered in country offices) and are a
minimum of four weeks in duration.
