Internships (original) (raw)

The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), is a non-profit whose mission is to transform global security by driving systemic solutions to nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity.

Our highly competitive program offers internship opportunities 3x a year to undergraduate students with at least two years of study, graduate students, and/or those who demonstrate co-equal qualifying experience. The hourly pay rate for interns is determined by a tiered compensation structure based on level of education:

• $19.00/hour for interns with a master’s degree or enrolled in a master’s program
