Woodrow Wilson Fellowships

November 7, 2012

Internships

Availability of positions generally corresponds to the beginning of the fall, spring, and summer terms. The Wilson Center has two different internship programs (Research Assistant internships and Staff Assistant internships) with separate applications and deadlines.

In general, interns have the ability to participate in a remote, in-person, or hybrid internship model, however every option may not be available for every internship opportunity.

In the event that an intern opts for a hybrid experience, the intern and their respective supervisor will mutually determine the weekly schedule for coming on-site. Applicants that have a strong preference for interning remotely for the duration of their internship are encouraged to state this in their cover letter. We encourage any interested applicants to continue to apply as usual, and to email internships@wilsoncenter.org with any questions or concerns that they may have.

All Wilson Center interns are subject to the Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939 that limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, DC, and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.
