Employment and Internship Opportunities
Internships at the Congressional-Executive Commission on China
We welcome your interest in working as an intern at the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC). We value the contribution that interns make to our work, and we have benefited from the intellectual and practical contributions of the interns who have worked with us so far. We are also gratified about the number of very highly qualified people who apply to work with us as interns each year.
To better understand the work of the Commission and its areas of most intense focus, we invite potential applicants to explore the CECC website (www.cecc.gov).
The CECC seeks interns for three periods of the year:

Interested applicants should send a cover letter and resume to the CECC via fax at (202) 226-3804, attention: Judy Wright, Director of Administration, or via e-mail to Judy Wright.
Those who wish to apply for internships should understand the following:
- CECC interns are paid the U.S. federal minimum wage;
- Interns must be U.S. citizens;
- We regret that interns are not eligible for federal benefits.
- During the fall and spring semesters, CECC internships are part-time, and we expect interns to work between 15 and 20 hours per week;
- During the summer, CECC internships are full-time, and we expect summer interns to work between 32 and 40 hours per week;
- Interns should have at least some background in U.S.-China relations generally or in one or more of the specific human rights and rule of law issues in the CECC legislative mandate.
- Interns should be able to read Chinese well enough to assist with research in newspapers, journals, and on websites. More advanced Chinese language capability would be a plus. The successful candidate for an internship often will have lived or studied in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.
