Please indicate the internships you are interested in applying for

Politics, Society and Culture: The Politics, Society and Culture Program addresses questions about US democracy, governance and political institutions; the attitudes and values that structure US society and what this means for US allies; shifts in US balancing of individual freedom, inequality and state power; US cultural presentation of itself to the world; and the differences and similarities between the United States and its allies and partners in key domains of public policy.Economic Security: Economics and security are colliding more now than at any time in the post-war era. The use of economic tools for geopolitical and strategic purposes is creating headaches for policy makers and the private sector alike. How to navigate this new world and support international allies and partners while protecting national domestic interests and industry is increasingly challenging. USSC is a first mover in this space, providing timely and well-informed analysis and practical solutions that assist Australia and the US to respond to economic security dynamics.Foreign Policy and Defence: The Foreign Policy and Defence Program produces policy-oriented analysis of American strategic policy in the Indo-Pacific and the future of the Australia-United States alliance. The program offers insights and recommendations to its stakeholders through publications, policy dialogues, strategic futures workshops, outreach activities, podcasts, and other mediums.Strategic Technologies: The Strategic Technologies Program explores the technology challenges and opportunities facing Australia, the United States and our network of allies and partners. The program conducts original research on the impact of strategic technologies for Australia and our region.Operations Team: Our operations team is responsible for the day to day running of the Centre and could include an internship with our executive team and their support staff, our events team, or our engagement and impact team. This could take the form of helping us to deliver our events, working with our media and design teams, or supporting our corporate engagement team. If you are interested in interning with this team, please let us know in your cover letter what part of operations interest you most.
