The Minority Science Writers Internship, run by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is open to undergrads from underrepresented minority groups who are interested in journalism as a career and want to learn about science writing.
The internship takes place each summer at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of AAAS's Science magazine, the largest interdisciplinary journal in the world. Interns spend 10 weeks at Science under the guidance of award-winning reporters and editors, and have a chance to experience what science writers do for a living. Interns are expected to contribute to the weekly news section, including bylined articles in the print and electronic news service.
The paid internship includes travel costs to and from the internship site in Washington, D.C. Living accommodations and expenses are the responsibility of the intern. The internship runs from June to mid-August.
The 2012 summer program application deadline is March 1, 2012. Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate academic program when they submit their application.
