Carnegie China Young Ambassadors Internships

Carnegie China is accepting internship applications on a rolling basis. These internships will be paid and may be arranged in different ways depending on how the candidates fit with the organization’s priorities and projects.

Qualified applicants should be matriculated students (either the undergraduate or graduate levels) or recent graduates (no more than two years from graduation). Candidates must be eligible to work in Singapore. Remote candidates will be considered presuming they are eligible to work in Singapore. We strongly encourage you to consider these factors before applying because positions are limited and competitive.

Why should you apply for an internship at Carnegie China?

You will be an integral part of our core team on day one and contribute substantively to major projects and initiatives;
You will have the opportunity to publish and start building a portfolio;
You thrive in a relatively flat, entrepreneurial, and results-oriented organization;
You enjoy being part of a high-performing team that takes their work very seriously but have fun while at it;
You will be part of an organization committed to cultivating next-gen talent;
You get to spend time in one of the most dynamic hubs in the Asia-Pacific and soak in different perspectives;
You can tap into Carnegie’s expansive global network of experts and resources.

Candidates should specify their preference for the “research” or “communications” track in their applications. Broadly speaking, the research track involves working on Carnegie China’s various analytical products, database projects, strategic initiatives, and editorial responsibilities. It requires both solid writing skills and quantitative acumen. The comms track in general involves developing creative content marketing and delivery, website design and management, events planning, and multimedia projects. It requires technical skills and comfort working with technology.

While there may be the desire to be considered for both, we strongly encourage you to tailor your application to the respective tracks to help us better assess your fit.
