About the role

Migration Policy Institute is offering a 2027 internship for graduate students and early-career professionals connected to the USA. The program provides hands-on research experience in migration policy, access to mentorship, and a certificate on completion. Interns will develop practical skills in policy analysis, data gathering, and reporting while expanding their professional network within the think tank community. Applications are open; deadlines are set by the organiser.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
