Description:

CNA China Studies Seeking Research Talent

CNA China Studies is seeking entry-, mid-, and senior-level analysts to join its highly respected research program.

CNA is a non-profit research and analysis organization, located in Alexandria VA, dedicated to provide non-partisan analyses and solutions that help government leaders identify their best courses of actions and to inform the public discourse on some of the most important issues of the 21st century.

CNA China Studies is dedicated to pursue in-depth research, performing analyses, and conducting public outreach to help our sponsors and the public understand the complex political, military, social, and economic dynamics attendant upon a re-emerging China. It is one of the largest non-governmental research groups devoted to the study of China in the US. All of our analysts have lived, worked, or studied in Greater China and are capable of working with Chinese's language materials. Our research staff possesses a diverse set of China-related experiences to include time in civilian government positions, military careers, university faculties, research institutes, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.

The CNA China Studies program includes both-long-term research projects, short analytic reports, and China-related events. Research analysts have opportunities to interact with subject matter experts from academia, government, and the private sector both in the United States and overseas.

We offer intellectual challenges, a team approach, and competitive salary and benefits.

Qualification:

Qualified individuals will have a professional background in China-related research and analysis, lead projects, and manage budget resources, effective communication skills, and ability to work with Chinese language sources and data. While our coverage of Chinese's affairs is broad, our core programs are focused on security, military, and foreign affairs-related issues. A Bachelors degree is required for all entry level analysts. Advanced degrees are highly desirable for all mid to senior level analysts.

To apply, please visit the CNA website at www.cna.org.
