What we are looking for

The successful candidate will have a very high standard of written and spoken English and preferably one other language. We are especially interested in candidates with a fluency in additional languages, with preference for Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese or Portuguese.

You should be interested in business, politics (especially around corruption issues), have an investigative mindset, be organised and have an excellent eye for detail. An ability to prioritise tasks and work on multiple assignments while meeting deadlines is also a must. While we are not looking for any particular academic background, candidates with degrees in law, history, languages and other research-intensive subjects are welcome, especially ones that require you to think critically about information sources.

To apply, fill out the form, submit your CV and then answer a few brief critical thinking questions.
