Apply for the Cato Innovation Project—Create Your Own Job at the Cato Institute

Alex Nowrasteh

The newly launched Cato Innovation Project asks applicants to propose the job they want us to create for them, rather than seeking to fill predefined positions. This inverts the usual hiring process. The Project will select 2–3 applicants on a rolling basis for full-time positions at a minimum salary of $100,000 and full benefits to work for at least 2 years on their projects at Cato. The positions have the potential to become permanent. 

We evaluate the pitch, not just the résumé.
