Geospatial Intelligence Intern (Spring 2027)

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is offering a Geospatial Intelligence and National Security Technologies Internship for Spring 2027. Program dates: January 12, 2027 – May 14, 2027. Full-time preferred (five days per week); part-time considered case-by-case. In-person, hybrid, or remote within the United States (must be authorized to work in and physically present in the US). What you’ll do: ISW uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies to improve research collection, intelligence analysis, and visualizations. Interns will use GIS, satellite remote sensing, data visualization, and Python coding skills to help refine how ISW’s analysts implement these tools. Interns support data collection, analysis, and visualizations that underpin ISW’s maps, and may interact with technology partners (including Neo4J, Babel Street, Ntrepid, and Planet Labs). What to submit: resume, cover letter, and writing sample (cover letter + writing sample combined ≤5 pages). Optional scholarship (up to $1,000/month living stipend) requires a separate scholarship cover letter. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until November 13, 2026.
