The Australian Strategic Policy Institute was established by the Australian Government as an independent source of policy ideas on defence and strategic issues. We provide Government with alternative views on key strategic questions, and help inform public debate on Australia’s defence and security. ASPI is a non-partisan organisation supported by both the Government and the Opposition.

INTERNSHIPS WITH ASPI

INTERNSHIP POSITIONS

The ASPI Research Internship Program provides an opportunity for recent graduates to acquire practical experience in seeing how strategic policy is developed and delivered to government. Interns will work in a paid research assistant capacity, under the guidance of one of our senior staff. The program offers up to 6 internships per year for a duration of 3 to 4 months each, with remuneration will be equivalent to that of a junior university research assistant. Please note that ASPI does not offer employment under the Public Services Act.

ASPI’s programs are diverse and draw upon a wide range of talents. We seek applications not only from strategic studies and international relations scholars, but also from interested science and economics graduates. Our aim is to nurture the next generation of strategic thinkers in Australia. We want to give you the opportunity to make a practical contribution to developing strategic policy, and in the process, gain some valuable 'on the job' training. An ASPI internship will provide access to some of Australia’s liveliest minds in the field by working with our staff and through observing roundtable discussions with some of the important visitors to ASPI.

 

Eligibility

ASPI’s research internships are open to Australian citizens who have recently graduated from undergraduate or post-graduate studies in a field relevant to ASPI’s research programs. You will need to demonstrate excellent academic results, strong research skills and be enthusiastic, motivated and able to adapt to the work environment quickly.
