The IDA Summer Associates Program provides college students with a unique opportunity to use their quantitative and analytic skills to work on challenging real-world national security issues. Each year, IDA hires and pays students at its Virginia and Washington, D.C., facilities to work for approximately 10-12 weeks during the summer months.
We seek both undergraduate (rising seniors) and graduate students with strong GPAs in a variety of disciplines. These internships are for continuing students, so applicants must have plans to return to school in the fall.
Applications are accepted each year beginning in the fall, and selections will be on-going between October and February.
