I. DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

 

Job Description Summary:

About the Program on Extremism
Founded in 2015, the Program on Extremism at George Washington University has quickly become a leading research center on all forms of extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work and developing pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. Its partnerships with some of the world’s most prominent universities, think tanks, media outlets and governmental agencies are a testament of the Program’s research quality, independence and innovative approach.

About the Research Assistant position
The Program on Extremism’s paid, term-limited research assistant program offers undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and post-grads an exciting opportunity to participate in the Program’s groundbreaking research by assisting full-time staff on a plethora of research projects. Specific tasks for research assistants vary based on the Program’s changing slate of projects; in general, research assistants are expected to be able to:

 

  • Conduct open-source research on issues related to terrorism and extremism.
  • Assist full-time staff in preparing and editing reports, policy papers, and other analytic products.
  • Provide support for ongoing Program deliverables, research streams, and analytic products.
  • Maintain primary source databases for ongoing research projects.

Requirements

Successful research assistant candidates vary; we accept applications from current undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and post-grads with backgrounds in various fields, including (but not limited to): political science, international relations, study of religion, social and forensic psychology, and data science/statistics.

  • Applicants must demonstrate previous research experience on issues related to terrorism, violent/non-violent extremism, or political violence.
  • Subject matter knowledge related to the nuances of extremism in the United States is preferred.
  • Applicants must be proficient in standard Microsoft Office programs (Word/Excel/PowerPoint/etc.).
  • Language skills are a plus, as is experience with social media analysis and/or use of data analysis software (including SPSS/Stata, R, Python, etc.).
