Fellowship (KAP)
Washington, DC / Policy and Operations / Full-time
Who we are
Defense Priorities (DEFP) is an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to informing citizens, thought leaders, and policymakers of the importance of a strong, dynamic military—used more judiciously to protect America's narrowly defined national interests. We promote a realistic grand strategy prioritizing restraint, diplomacy, and free trade to ensure U.S. security.
Opportunity
DEFP is seeking several fellows to join our growing team as part of a one-year fellowship in partnership with Stand Together Fellowships’ Koch Associate Program (KAP). Available positions include Research Associate, Programs Coordinator, and Development Associate—the responsibilities and qualifications for each are described at greater length in the KAP portal. Applicants for these roles must first be accepted into KAP.
While this Fellowship lasts for one year, there is potential to renew for a second year. This position is based in Washington, DC, but is a hybrid role.
If you have not been accepted into KAP and are still interested in working for DEFP, please consider one of our other open roles, or submit your information to our resume bank.
Additional information
DEFP is headquartered in Washington, DC, but we will consider applicants from other areas who are able to work remotely. The position offers comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits; a 401(k) retirement plan; flexible PTO (paid time off); and additional benefits.
We look for the following qualities in candidates: Integrity, intelligence, innovative/creative thinking, flexibility/adaptability, curiosity, strong story-telling capability, strong work ethic, passion, and positive energy.
