FIA Summer Internship Opportunity

Building a Global Fusion Energy Industry, From the FIA

The Fusion Industry Association (FIA) is hiring for a paid, part-time intern this summer with remote and in-person work in Washington, D.C.

The FIA is the unified voice of the fusion industry, working to transform the energy system with commercially viable fusion power. It represents the interests of its members; the private companies that are commercializing clean, safe, available fusion energy.

We are seeking a motivated individual to intern part-time with us, reporting directly to the Head of Public Affairs and Communications. The successful candidate will be responsible for writing blog posts on developing fusion news, contributing to social media outreach, and will have the opportunity to develop a project related to FIA priorities, based on professional and personal interests.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Writing blog posts based on FIA priorities and fusion news for our website.
  • Conducting social media outreach (X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, YouTube).
  • Contributing to FIA website management on WordPress.
  • Opportunity to develop a self-led project, based on personal and professional interests, related to FIA priorities in government partnerships, regulations, and growing the fusion energy economy.

Requirements:

  • Strong writing and communications skills
  • Experience in WordPress
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and work independently

Location: It is expected that candidates will be based in Washington, DC, for in-person work as needed, although elements of the position will be able to be conducted remotely. 

If you are passionate about fusion energy and are interested in learning more about fusion policy, regulatory activity, and industry developments, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity. (Physics and scientific background is not required.)

TO APPLY: Applicants for the role should send a 1.) cover letter and 2.) resume to Caroline Anderson, FIA Head of Public Affairs and Communications at Caroline@FusionIndustryAssociation.org. Please be prepared to supply references on request.

Common Fusion Approaches

Magnetic confinement: Plasma is heated to 100 million °C or more, then squeezed and held in place by strong magnetic fields, allowing many fusion reactions to occur. (Example: tokamaks, stellarators)

Inertial confinement: Tiny fuel pellets are struck by powerful lasers. The outer layer explodes outward, compressing the core to fusion conditions for a few nanoseconds, producing a brief but intense pulse of energy from each pellet. (Example: National Ignition Facility)

Hybrid systems: Combine compression (e.g., from lasers, plasma pistons, or mechanical impact) with moderate magnetic fields to reduce energy losses and improve confinement.

Electrostatic fusion: Uses high electric potentials to accelerate ions toward a central reaction zone, causing them to collide at high energies and fuse. The ions are guided and confined by electric fields rather than magnets, creating a compact environment for fusion reactions.
