Science
Writing Internships
Light Knowledge Resources (www.light-kr.com),
an Internet publishing company based in Princeton, NJ, is seeking talented
students who are interested in internships in science writing. The internships
are for our two health-news websites, The Myeloma Beacon (www.myelomabeacon.com) and The MDS
Beacon (www.mdsbeacon.com).
These unpaid internships provide valuable experience in learning how to write technical science content in a manner that is friendly and understandable to lay readers. In our case, articles are geared toward patients suffering from medical conditions and their families.
These internships are excellent experience for applicants pursuing health care-related careers or careers in health- or science-related writing/journalism.
Students will develop and write content for Light's health-related websites. This involves reading the literature, writing articles, and publishing to the sites.
Interns will work in 7-10 member teams responsible for writing, updating, and editing content for their site. Hours of work are flexible, and interns can work from home or school. Articles for the websites will be 500-700 words in length, and interns will be expected to spend 7-10 hours per week for more than a single semester.
Applicants should have excellent writing skills, an interest in science, be able to work independently, and possess a history of strong academic performance (3.4 GPA minimum). Applicants also will need access to a computer with Internet access. Relevant experience is desired, but all enthusiastic applicants are encouraged to apply.
Please send a resume including GPA and SAT/GRE score, and a letter describing why you are interested and what type of experience you have, to recruiting@light-kr.com.
