IR Career Starters - October 2023

It is the end of September, and it is once again time for another newsletter stuffed to the brim with curated opportunities in international affairs. This time around I have gathered 246 internships, traineeships, fellowships and entry/early-career positions for those looking for a first or maybe next step into this intriguing field of work.

For those looking for internships for the spring, the first advanced intakes are beginning with starting dates in the spring, so starting the search early can really pay off.

For any podcast enjoyers out there, I have depleted all recommendations, so ***please do not hesitate to comment or PM me a recommendation for podcast episodes!***

All the best,

Alex

IR Podcast Recommendations

Episode:?Satellite Surveillance: The New Orbital Arms Race

Podcast: The Red Line

In this episode, we explore the intensifying arms race between the US, Russia, and China in orbital satellite surveillance technology. Delving into the advanced capabilities of these countries' satellite systems and how they are changing the landscape of modern warfare. From enhanced intelligence gathering to the potential for preemptive strikes, we discuss the implications of this technological race on the future battlefield. Will this theater become more aggressive, will more and more players enter the race, and will we see the growing collaboration between Russia and China extend to space? We ask our panel of experts.

Episode:?Fellow-BRICS road: a club expands

Podcast: The Intelligence from The Economist

The alliance was always based more on common fortunes than common interests. We ask what to make of the six new members, and whether the bloc’s undermines its purpose. Regulation has struggled in an era when children can become “influencers”, but it is starting to. And remembering , who realised India’s future depended on toilets.
