Israel Democracy Institute

Job Description

Research Interns are assigned to one of The Institute’s seven research programs, based upon the specific needs of our Research Fellows and the particular skills of the intern. This position involves working closely with the Research Fellow and research staff in a particular subject area over a minimum period of six weeks.

If you think your skills may be suited to more than one area of research, please explain this in your cover letter.
