Looking to kick-start a career in science media? Cambridge University’s Naked Scientists have an opening for an intern to join their award-winning team this summer.
The successful applicant, who will also receive a cash award of £1000, will spend a period of 8 – 10 weeks gaining experience in making science radio programmes and podcasts, web development, science writing, video editing and production.
"The Naked Scientists" broadcasts on BBC radio stations across the UK, and worldwide as a podcast, which is consistently near the top of the iTunes Science podcast charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Their unique approach to science communication features a range of presenters who interview renowned scientists and researchers from all over the world and take science questions on any subject live from the listening public.
This internship, which is supported by the Medical Research Council (MRC), is open to UK-based students (including Masters and PhD students and recent graduates) who hold or are registered for a science or engineering-based University degree.
Those wishing to apply should make an initial expression of interest, in writing, to Ben Valsler, The Naked Scientists, Dept. of Pathology, University of Cambridge, CB2 1QP.
