Opportunity: East-West Center in Washington Summer Program
Young Professionals Program (Applications due by Mar 17)
The application for the Summer 2024 (June - August 2024) program will open Friday, February 16, 2024.
The East-West Center in Washington (EWCW) offers a chance each semester for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates, to gain first-hand training experience at a US-Indo-Pacific research and education organization in Washington, DC.
We strive to provide participants with a broad range of education and training opportunities during their time with EWCW. These may include acquiring and analyzing large datasets for our Asia Matter for America publications, writing articles for AsiaMattersforAmerica.org, attending webinars or seminars, and delivering briefs.
Applicants typically have a strong interest in US-Indo-Pacific relations and may be studying international relations, Asia studies, international economics, international political economy, public policy, international business, journalism, or other similar areas of study. However, all students and recent graduates who are interested in learning more about US-Indo-Pacific relations are encouraged to apply.
The following proven skillsets are beneficial (though not required):
- Research experience with open-source data and working with data in Excel.
- Experience analyzing quantitative data and concisely communicating data outputs.
- Experience living in, studying, or researching the Indo-Pacific
- Experience tracking multiple media sources for news or developments about a particular topic
- Interest in researching and communicating complex international relations topics (i.e., international trade) into a local perspective (i.e., Maine exports of lobster to China).
- Developing graphs/charts/infographics for use online and in print form in support of various research, policy dialogue, publication, and outreach projects
- Basic understanding of economic data analysis (FDI and Greenfield investment)
- Asian language reading fluency
- Experience writing policy analyses, briefs, press releases, or other professional communications
- Public relations/brand management experience
We do not sponsor visas for this program, non-US-citizen applicants should already be authorized for such a position through US citizenship/permanent residency or existing visas sponsored by a university or other valid third party.
Full-time (40 Hours/week) participation in the Young Professionals Program comes with a $2,000 per month stipend, subject to applicable taxes and withholding. Stipends are prorated for part-time participation, and may count as university credits if your school permits.
Applicants located both inside and outside of the Washington DC area are welcome, though residence in the DC metro area is preferred. Participants located in the DC area for the spring term will join either remotely, in-person, or hybrid depending on COVID-19 restrictions. COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots are required per East-West Center policy for all staff and participants. Participants must be able to attend at least one weekly zoom meeting, dedicate 20-40 hours per week to the program, and be able to be online for the majority of Eastern Time working hours (9am-5pm).

The All of Us Research Program, an initiative spearheaded by the National Institutes of Health, aims to accelerate health research discoveries that enable individualized healthcare by building one of the world's largest and most diverse databases for health research.
The All of Us Research Program database offers access to a diverse, longitudinal dataset that can be used by students and faculty who may not have access to other datasets.
The NIH has worked with research communities and community members to ensure a robust research protocol that respects participants and the needs of the research community. This dataset includes biological and social determinants of health data on a large, inclusive scale, that follows participants as they move, age, and grow.
Researchers with access to the All of Us Researcher Workbench will have the potential to facilitate studies that could lead to new insight, treatment, and strategies for disease prevention that are tailored to individuals.
Join us for an information session to learn more about the research program, including more information on the datasets, how to get registered, and the required training to gain access!
