Subject: [PSCI-COM] Press Office Experience
Dear Wonderful Psci Commers,
I am a full-time research scientist (biology) doing a part-time MSc in science communication to boot. I am looking to eventually move away from the lab bench, get dressed (I am, after all, a female scientist, and we all know what that means...), and become enthralled in a science communication role. To this end I am applying for jobs in the sector, but finding that most "communicator of current research" positions require press office experience. Of which I have none.Could anyone suggest ways in which I might feasibly gain such experience, while holding down a full-time job? (I.e. I am unable to take large chunks of time off work for internships in London - I am based in Bristol.)Any industry-cracking ideas would be welcome.Many thanks,Laura********************************************************************** Further information about the psci-com discussion list, including list archive, can be found at the list web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/psci-com.html You may also change your settings and subscribe/unsubscribe to psci-com from the web site.
