Aspen Strategy Group
The Aspen Strategy Group (ASG), a policy program of the Aspen Institute, is a resolutely nonpartisan forum in which preeminent experts and policymakers explore the most pressing foreign policy and national security challenges facing the United States. The Strategy Group convenes annually in Aspen, Colorado in public and private settings, as well as various domestic and international locations throughout the year, to hold strategic discussions on issues that affect American interests at home and abroad. We have a variety of successful digital platforms as well.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
The ASG launched the Brent Scowcroft Award Fellowship (BSAF), a paid, temporary, and full-time fellowship program, in recognition of ASG Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus Lieutenant General Brent Scowcroft’s long-time dedication to the group, as well as his legacy of distinguished public service. Now in its 20th year, the six-month fellowship is designed to provide the first stepping-stone for recent graduates with a keen interest in foreign policy by way of direct exposure to the types of critical, thoughtful, and bipartisan discussions that characterize the ASG’s dialogues.
This fellowship is set in a collaborative, small-team, and fast-paced environment. Scowcroft Fellows work and contribute to projects across all three pillars of our work: the Aspen Strategy Group, the Aspen Security Forum, and the Rising Leaders Program. As the ASG Policy Initiatives and Public Programs teams prepare for each meeting and program, we entrust our Scowcroft fellows with a high level of responsibility. Therefore, we seek candidates with the ability to work both efficiently as part of a team and independently to ensure the success of the ASG’s various activities.
This position reports directly to the Aspen Strategy Group Fellow. The salary for this position is $23/hr. Our team is in Washington, D.C. and currently working in a hybrid fashion. The selected candidate will need to be in the Washington, D.C. area and able to be in person for the full term of their fellowship.
Fellowship Term: September 2024 – February 2025
(Please note that the fellowship term is six months, with the possibility of an extension up to twelve months.)
