Internship

The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR) is an American and Israeli non- profit corporation created to help organizations succeed and prosper in a world influenced by terrorism.

ITRR’s Israeli and American experts provide counter – terrorism training, seminars, and security specialization in dealing with threats such as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), suicide bombers, and other forms of international terror striking both the public and the private sector. ITRR’s US- based terror experts provide training seminars and expertise in dealing with domestic terrorism and eco-terror groups, including the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).

The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response established the Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center (TAM-C) to provide accurate and actionable intelligence about potential security threats throughout the world. With a multilingual team of researchers and analysts, TAM-C gathers and provides intelligence on terrorist activities and plans, information on international hot-spots, historical “Red-Flag” dates, and real time security alerts.

Operating under the auspices and with the resources of TAM-C, the Ground Truth Network utilizes international contacts and sources to provide real-time intelligence from the field. In this way, the Ground Truth Network keeps international corporations apprised of threats to their assets and personnel throughout the world.

We want to thank you for taking interest in ITRR.

We offer two options for interning in our institute:

· Internship Program in ITRR offices in Israel:

The research work will be based on terrorist related internet sites and will focus on certain area/country/region according to the Institutions’ needs, and the preference of the intern. In addition, the interns’ capabilities, knowledge and the languages the intern knows will be taken into consideration. The intern will have the chance to be engaged in intelligence work, and will learn about the world of International Jihad. In addition, the intern will be required to go through a subsidized course, which is relevant for the research. The course will be coordinated specifically for the intern.

·On-line Internship Program:

The research work will be focused on a certain Area/Country according to the Institutions’ needs, and the preference of the intern. In addition, the interns’ capabilities, knowledge and the languages the intern knows will be taken to consideration. The research will be based on open source material (paper/electronic journalism). The intern is required to send a progress report twice a week. This can be a good preparation for the Internship program in Israel, but it’s not a condition for getting to the Israel program. The intern will be researching for special projects, and will have the opportunity for networking with people in Israel and over the world.

Most internships served with the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response are unpaid and at the intern's expense.

The initial steps to complete are signing the confidentiality agreement, an agreement concerning the time frame of the internship and submitting the registration form.

Please let us know if you would like to continue the process with ITRR and what option will suit your interests.
