2023 IDA SUMMER ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

Please join us on Wednesday, November 9th at 3pm ET as we bring in speakers from The Institute for Defense Analyses’ (IDA) to host an informational and Q&A session on IDA’s 2023 Summer Associate Program. https://wse.zoom.us/j/99886921017

Overview of the Associate Program

The IDA Summer Associates Program provides students with a unique opportunity to use their quantitative and analytic skills to work on challenging real-world national security issues. Each year, IDA hires and pays students at its Virginia and Washington, DC, facilities to work for approximately 10-12 weeks during the summer months.

This opportunity is open to both undergraduate (rising seniors) and graduate students with strong GPAs (3.3 or above) in a variety of disciplines including computer science, information technology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, operations research, aero/astronautical engineering, mechanical or electrical engineering, as well as materials science, international relations, policy studies, social and behavioral sciences, statistics, finance, and economics. These internships are for continuing students, so applicants must have plans to return to school in the fall.
