Science has an exciting opportunity for two paid summer internships with our News Department. The Diverse Voices in Science Journalism (DVSJ) Internship offers undergraduate and graduate students interested in a career in science journalism the opportunity to learn multiple facets of the trade. Working closely with editors and reporters at Science, one of the world’s largest interdisciplinary science journals, interns will contribute to all news products, including online, print, and digital media .

The program especially aims to train those who come from, and are committed to covering, communities that have historically been underrepresented in science journalism. The hands-on experience builds interns’ capacity to report on science for a general audience, expanding access to the profession. We invite anyone with a demonstrable interest in issues of diversity in science to apply. We strongly encourage applications from students who are members of historically excluded racial and ethnic communities, are sexual minorities, immigrants, first-generation college students, have disabilities, are neurodivergent or have other identities not listed here and that are not regularly represented in science journalism.

Experience what it’s like to cover the scientific and technological issues that shape our global community.
