Job Info


Internship Overview
The Cell Press Media & Communications Office is offering a summer internship for current undergraduate students or those who recently finished an undergraduate program. The internship is designed to give you the full experience of being a science communicator at a major publishing operation. Primarily, you will see how a scientific paper from the laboratory becomes a story in a major media outlet. In addition to assisting with day-to-day maintenance of an international press office, the intern will help write press releases or social media from pitch to distribution, developing the skills to create and analyze the success of their work. Throughout the internship, you will collaborate with other business teams, including marketing, editorial, and production, and better understand how each department meets business goals. By the end of your time at Cell Press, you will walk away with a collection of 5-8 clips comprised of press releases, marketing copy, and social media campaigns.

Tasks will include:

* Assisting with day-to-day maintenance of core media & communications functions.

* Writing press releases about research published in Cell Press journals.
* Preparing weekly social media posts for Cell Press content.

* Collaborating with team members on the design, look, feel, and tone of materials.

* A capstone project to be determined by the intern's interests.
