The Center for International Studies (CIS) invites applications for its Undergraduate Fellows Program, designed to deepen engagement between MIT students and the world of international politics and policy.
Open to post-MISTI undergraduates from all majors, the program will support 4–6 fellows each semester who demonstrate strong interest in global issues such as climate policy, foreign relations, security, democracy and human rights, trade, and international technology governance.
Fellows will work 8-10 hours per week—including Mondays from 12:00–1:30 PM—supporting and collaborating with CIS research staff, visiting fellows (including senior policy professionals), and other CIS affiliates. Responsibilities include research assistance, contributions to global education and communications projects, and regular participation in the Global Research and Policy Seminars (GR&PS). Fellows will be paid at the standard UROP rate or may participate for credit.
To apply, submit a statement of interest and a list of relevant coursework on the application form by August 20. Notifications will be sent in late August.
