Who we are

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 31, 2025

Do you have an interest in geography, the geospatial industry and/or the intelligence community? Do you have an interest in working in a rapidly growing industry? The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is seeking qualified applicants for its Intern Program for a one-year commitment. Internships may be extended on a case-by-case basis per decision of the USGIF Executive Vice President.

Why Intern at USGIF?

• Networking – USGIF provides unique forums to build your professional network, organizing and participating in events from intimate to large-scale, interacting personally with young professionals, longtime Intelligence Community members, and hiring managers from government and industry.
• Professional development – USGIF interns are afforded tremendous responsibility as the primary support staff to USGIF’s working groups. By overseeing working group meeting execution, conducting research for ad hoc projects, and contributing to thought leadership, interns will gain experience in project management, professional writing, event planning, data collection, and more.
• Practical engagement on intelligence issues – One challenge to entering the intelligence field is developing your resumé before you have received a security clearance. USGIF offers a unique opportunity for you to make meaningful contributions to geospatial initiatives in an unclassified environment.

We encourage potential applicants to apply early in their graduate school enrollment. We prefer to hire interns as a cohort to facilitate team cohesion and early networking with peers. We will notify applicants if they are a candidate for an opening.
