Hi All,
For our fourth year The Wellcome Trust is supporting two studentships for the MSc in Science Media Production run by Imperial College London.
These studentships offer financial support for biomedical scientists to undertake a postgraduate qualification in Science Media Production at Imperial College London and to follow this with a six-month placement working in the broadcast industry.
Applicants should be currently practising biomedical scientists wishing to explore a career in the broadcast media. They must have a PhD or equivalent, some experience of science communication, and a demonstrable aptitude for working with TV, radio or film.
Our research shows that the overwhelming majority of the public regard television as their most significant source of information about science. We believe that the broadcast media should represent and reflect all areas of science and culture, and therefore should be produced by people from a variety of different backgrounds.
We aim to increase the crossover between science and the media and to enable bright, articulate and motivated scientists to explore a career in the broadcast industry.
Application is through the Imperial College website (see http://tiny.cc/mxv33). After the application deadline, a shortlist of candidates for interview will be drawn up, with interviews taking place in late March.
The applications deadline is 24 of February 2012.
