The CSIS Chair on India and Emerging Asia Economics (India Chair) aims to unlock the full potential of the U.S.-India relationship and leads the Center's work on India. The India Chair serves as an independent platform to pursue policy changes that strengthen bilateral ties, placing special emphasis on accelerating economic development in India and promoting greater business and economic engagement between the two countries. The CSIS Chair has also become the world's leading authority on state-level political-economic issues in India, leading multiple funded projects to expand subnational engagement with India.
CSIS is currently seeking a candidate for full-time, paid and in-person internship with the India Chair. There is a 4-month tenure (January to April) to the internship, though extensions are occasionally possible on the grounds of exceptional performance.
The role will primarily focus on (but not limited to) our work related to promoting growth-oriented state-level business and economic reforms in India. Secondary focus areas include federal economic reforms in India, U.S.-India commercial relations, India's urbanization journey, healthcare partnerships, defense ties, and technology partnerships.
The intern is expected to be in the office for 4 days (Monday to Thursday) per week and has the flexibility to work from home on Fridays. We do not accommodate virtual internships. Interns must be prepared to shift to working from the office 5 days per week if CSIS management requires it.

The hired candidates will be paid hourly, commensurate with experience ($18.40/hour for current undergraduate hires, $19.40/hour for hires with a bachelor's degree, and $20.40/hour for hires with a master's degree).

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For

- Active state special education teaching license or administrative certification
- Demonstrated experience developing and overseeing Individualized Education Programs

Tips for Your Remote Special Education Department Chair Job Search
Show async IEP leadership in your materials
Remote special education department chairs run compliance cycles, staff check-ins, and family communications entirely in writing. Document examples of IEP coordination you led asynchronously, specifying the platforms you used and the outcomes you delivered, so hiring teams can see you've done the work without in-person structure.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote special education department chair openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your credentials and apply directly. Remote roles in high-need compliance areas fill quickly, so applying as soon as a relevant posting appears gives you a real advantage.
Target online charter networks specifically
Online charter schools and virtual public schools are the most consistent hirers of remote special education department chairs. Focus your search on organizations that operate multi-state or multi-campus programs, where distributed special education leadership is built into the operating model rather than an exception.
Prepare for compliance-focused remote interviews
Remote hiring panels for this role almost always probe your approach to maintaining IDEA compliance without physical presence. Prepare specific examples of how you've audited IEP documentation, managed state reporting deadlines, and coached special educators entirely through written and video-based communication.
Remote Special Education Department Chair Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote special education department chair job?
Remote special education department chair roles go to candidates who can demonstrate strong asynchronous communication, self-directed leadership, and the ability to manage IEP compliance and staff performance without in-person oversight. Online charter networks and edtech companies hiring remotely screen for experience coordinating distributed special education teams, fluency with virtual IEP platforms, and a history of driving student outcomes independently. A portfolio of documented compliance results and remote team leadership gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote special education department chairs?
Companies hiring remote special education department chairs right now include Faculty, Liberty University, and National University, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first online charter schools, special education management organizations, and edtech firms with distributed academic teams are the most consistent sources of these openings.
Can you get a remote special education department chair job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry into this role is harder because you must manage IEP compliance and supervise staff without in-person support from day one. Online charter schools occasionally hire candidates with strong special education teaching backgrounds and demonstrated leadership, even without formal chair experience. Showing you've led IEP meetings, mentored para-educators, or coordinated multi-disciplinary teams remotely can open the door when direct experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote special education department chair jobs?
Usually, but the specific degree matters more than the level. Most remote employers expect at least a master's degree in special education or educational leadership, along with state licensure or relevant certification. What carries real weight alongside credentials is a demonstrated record of managing special education compliance, running virtual IEP processes, and leading teams across multiple time zones or school sites.
