USSOUTHCOM Internships
In partnership with the Latin America and Caribbean Center, we have established a local, unpaid internship program with the United States Southern Command headquarters, which is located in Miami-Dade County. The Southern Command, known as USSOUTHCOM, is the administrative command over the US military operations responsible for South America, Central America and the Caribbean. This program is now available to a limited number of students (especially graduate students but also some upper division undergrads). Individuals from many disciplines will be welcomed at SOUTHCOM – including Political Science, History, Sociology, International Relations, Business, Computer Science, Public Administration, Public Relations, Law and Criminal Justice. Students should contact Hector Cadavid or David Twigg, at ippcs@fiu.edu, to express interest. Applicants to the internship program will be required to submit two letters of recommendation from faculty members and attend an interview at the Gordon Institute (LC 220 University Park Campus). In order to be referred to USSOUTHCOM an applicant must:
Be a citizen of the USA,
Have a minimum GPA of 3.0
Additionally, an applicant must pass a background security check – which is expected to take at least a month - prior to final approval to work in the USSOUTHCOM headquarters facility. Students may have the opportunity to travel on short trips out of the US for internship-related work assignments (i.e. for conferences, meetings, etc.).
FBI Internships
The local office of the FBI will also accept some interns on a non-paid basis. The bureau is looking specifically for students with some GIS skills/knowledge, or with some background that would be useful in the Counterterrorism Unit, such as Critical Language skills and/or knowledge of terrorist groups or ideologies. Interested students may generally follow the above guidelines – submit two letters of recommendation, come in for an interview and a short application. The terms of engagement differ somewhat from those for SOUTHCOM – a full background security check must be completed before a student may begin work. (At SOUTHCOM there is a preliminary check then students begin working in a controlled environment with no access to classified material while the background check is completed.) This will take 6 months to a year. Students may work for up to two years, @16 hours a week. A student may begin this process before the Junior year because of the time frame involved.
