American Enterprise Institute: Info Sess

The American Enterprise Institute is a community of scholars and supporters committed to expanding liberty, increasing individual opportunity and strengthening free enterprise. AEI pursues these unchanging ideals through independent thinking, open debate, reasoned argument, facts and the highest standards of research and exposition. Without regard for politics or prevailing fashion, we dedicate our work to a more prosperous, safer and more democratic nation and world.

AEI offers many entry-level fulltime opportunities for recent graduates in a number of public policy research areas, including economics, foreign and defense policy, and political studies. In addition, we have a number of staff positions within our business units for students interested in nonprofit management, development, communications, or government outreach.

Aside from our fulltime opportunities, AEI has a robust internship program, hosting approximately 50-60 interns every spring, summer, and fall. Interns have the opportunity to work directly with our scholars and business directors, getting a behind-the-scenes look at the policy making process and what running a large think tank entails from a business perspective. AEI internships also offer a wealth of academically enriching opportunities, including access to our conferences and events; a series of policy lectures and career talks available exclusively to interns; and frequent intern happenings - informal gatherings providing the chance to interact with AEI’s prestigious staff.
