A Political Researcher intern powers live political engagements: constituency research, opposition and source monitoring, policy tracking, and daily briefing material — with research feeding real client work from month one under senior review. ### What is the eligibility for the Political Researcher Internship? Final-year students and recent graduates with genuine political interest and demonstrated research craft. No diploma is mandatory — we evaluate capability, not paperwork (clinical-licensed roles are the only exception). ### Is the political research work partisan? No — CryptoMize serves engagements, not ideologies. Researchers document what the record shows for whichever client the engagement serves, and the verification standard is identical across every political affiliation we work with. What varies between engagements is geography and subject, never rigor — the sourcing standard is identical for a municipal contest and a national campaign, and identical again for cross-border political intelligence work. ### Is the Political Researcher Internship paid? Compensation is discussed during the screening process and depends on demonstrated skill, engagement classification, urgency, and track record. We deliberately do not publish figures. ### How long is the internship, and is a certificate provided? The program runs 6 months at our New Delhi HQ, with a certificate provided on completion — plus a portfolio of briefing-grade research across live engagements. ### What is the selection process for Political Researcher interns? A short application, a research task on a realistic political question with sourcing requirements, and a final interview with the research lead. The cycle typically completes within two weeks. ### Which skills should I learn before applying? Research craft with primary sources, clear concise writing, analytical reading of political developments, and media literacy across print and social. Domain context we teach on live material. ### What does political research at CryptoMize actually look like day to day? A morning source sweep across government releases and regional media, a scoped research block on your owned question, and an afternoon briefing draft — punctuated by queries from the strategy team that need sourced answers within the day. During election windows the cadence tightens: the source sweep runs twice daily and the briefing goes out before the strategy stand-up. Apply: https://cryptomize.com/careers/internship/apply/
