Third Institute is always looking to expand our network of contributors who know their region from the inside — students and researchers with the analytical perspective that comes from studying and living there.

What Third Institute offers

Writing for Third Institute means your analysis reaches an international audience of students, policy professionals, and anyone serious about understanding how the world actually works — not just how Western institutions describe it.

Beyond the byline, you join a founding network. The people building Third Institute now — Regional Editors and contributors across seven regions — are at the beginning of careers in policy, journalism, research, and diplomacy.

For those earlier in their analytical careers, the editorial process itself is part of the value. Every piece is worked on with your Regional Editor and reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. You will leave each edition a sharper writer and a more rigorous analyst than you arrived.

Contributor

Contributors have opportunities to produce analytical pieces across the monthly flagship briefing, weekly briefing note, and articles. Your pieces are edited by an Editor and reviewed before publication.

You need: direct regional knowledge, the ability to write analytically rather than descriptively, and the discipline to meet deadlines.
