KIP Spring 2027 - External Relations Intern - Mercatus Center

The Koch Internship Program (KIP) is a paid experiential learning program run by Stand Together Fellowships that offers professional development, leadership training, and meaningful work experience at non-profits tackling some of our nation's most pressing policy challenges all over the United States. Early-career professionals including undergraduate/graduate/law students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Eligible candidates will be geographically located in and authorized to work in the United States through the duration of the program. Successful candidates will interview with both our non-profit partner organizations and Stand Together Fellowships staff, so we strongly encourage you to begin the admissions process early! How can philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE) help us understand the ways that immigration policy and border policing impact individual liberty? This Research Intern will work with Hayek Program Senior Fellow Nathan P. Goodman to produce academic research relevant to this question. This work will bridge normative political philosophy and positive social science grounded in mainline political economy.
