Job Title: US-China Relations Intern

Reports to: US-China Relations Team Lead and the Managing Editor

Job Description: The US-China Relations Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by collaborating on a team of 4-8 interns in the Core Content Department. The US-China Relations intern will analyze the US-China relationship, and the greater impact this relationship has on the US and the global community. This intern will conduct research on current policy surrounding the topic and how such policy can be revised or replaced to more effectively shape future relations between the two countries. The basis of the internship will be to work towards furthering the US-China Relations book project, with a focus on making these complex laws and policies easier to digest and understand for everyone. This intern must prioritize ONC's commitment to non-partisanship, ideological diversity, and civil debate and ensure it is evident in all published work. A content-related writing sample, no less than 3 paragraphs in length, must be submitted with the application.

This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication.
