Are you interested in how public policy, government decision-making, and aerospace intersect?

AIAA, the world's largest aerospace professional society, is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Public Policy Intern to support our policy and advocacy efforts. This part-time, temporary internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in federal public policy, congressional affairs, and government relations within a professional association setting. You'll work closely with the Director of Public Policy & Government Relations to monitor legislative and regulatory activity, prepare briefing materials, and support engagement with policymakers, members, and volunteers.

This internship is ideal for undergraduate or graduate students with strong research and writing skills who are interested in public policy, government relations, or the aerospace and defense policy landscape.

  • Research and track legislation from key congressional committees, including Appropriations, Armed Services, Science, and Foreign Relations
  • Draft legislative and policy synopses for internal staff, volunteer leaders, and other audiences
  • Prepare background and briefing materials for AIAA executives and volunteer leaders, including biographies, agendas, and talking points
  • Research and fact-check policy papers for accuracy and clarity
  • Update and maintain AIAA state fact sheets
  • Assist with scheduling and preparation for Capitol Hill meetings and Public Policy Committee activities
  • Support government relations initiatives, events, and special projects as assigned

Internship Details:

  • Schedule: Approximately three days per week
  • Duration: 10 weeks (dates to be determined)
  • Work Environment: Hybrid
  • Experience: Work collaboratively with AIAA staff, members, volunteers, corporate government affairs professionals, and government personnel

Qualifications:

  • Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher in Political Science, International Relations, Public Policy, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
