Argonne summer science-writing internship for undergraduates

Argonne National Laboratory's Communications & Public Affairs Division offers one full-time science-writing internship each summer for undergraduate students or students who graduated in May or June. Former Argonne interns subsequently landed reporting and editing jobs with Science, Science News , R&D, Chemical & Engineering News, The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the International Medical News Group and the Elgin Courier-News, and as science writers at Cal Tech, Purdue, the American Chemical Society, Ames Laboratory, Argonne, and the University of Chicago Hospitals. Participants must be full-time students at an accredited college or university and must have a strong interest in science-related journalism. Participants will work at least ten 40-hour weeks on science news and feature stories and magazine articles for the Argonne News, Explorer and the Argonne Web site, as well as related news releases and media contacts. The internship requires a strong background in journalism and an interest in science.
