The Executive Office of the President's Office of National Drug Control Policy (EOP/ONDCP) leads interagency and intergovernmental policy development and analysis work focused on two distinct but interconnected mission spheres: public health interventions aimed at reducing illicit substance use or misuse of prescription drugs, treating substance use disorder, and developing and enhancing resources for those in recovery from substance use; and interdiction initiatives aimed at reducing the trafficking and overall availability of illicit substances and their chemical precursors.

ONDCP's Office of International Relations and Supply Reduction (IRSR) develops and implements supply reduction policy to reduce drug use and its consequences and coordinates all ONDCP international engagements. This component drafts the relevant sections of the National Drug Control Strategy, supports the ONDCP budget guidance development process with international relations and supply reduction subject matter expertise to ensure adherence to evidence-and-intelligence-based approaches among the interagency, and convenes the interagency to ensure execution of drug policy priorities. Component staff work on a range of domestic and international issues, including, multilateral engagements, and domestic law enforcement.

ONDCP/IRSR seeks 2 full-time and 1 part-time intern who are highly motivated to contribute to ONDCP's critical mission. The internships will focus on general research, writing memos, preparing and delivering briefs. Strong communication skills, especially writing, is key. Spanish skills may be useful but not required. An International Relations background is preferable.

The Summer 2023 internship term begins on Monday, June 5, 2023, and ends on Friday, August 11, 2023.
