JOB SUMMARY

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of some 275 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

The Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics provides unmatched thought leadership for the Washington policy community by examining China’s economy and its commercial relationship with the United States and the rest of the world. We go beyond the headlines to examine China’s macroeconomy, trends in industrial policy and specific high-tech sectors, its trade and investment, the energy transition, U.S.-China relations, and China’s role in global economic governance. Our analysis is shared with the policy community, business leaders, scholars, and the public through reports and commentaries, interactive digital content, and events. We generate new conversations among stakeholders in the United States, China, and other countries by convening discussions on the factors influencing their decisions.

The Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics is seeking a part-time paid research intern who can provide dedicated support for research and analysis, during the period from early September to mid-December 2026.
