Can you write about science accurately, clearly and engagingly?
Communicating the latest research developments to a broad audience is a special skill. Journalists sift through an avalanche of information, distilling out what’s news and turning it into readable copy. Spend 3-8 weeks with a media host on a summer placement, working with them to produce the news. Return to work understanding the media world, with more confidence about future forays into it. Develop your writing skills. Imagine producing funding applications and journal articles that are more concise, more readable and completed quicker!

Yes, this scheme is open to citizens from any coutry, provided that you are based in the UK and have at least 2 years remaining on your contract.
And yes, we plan to run the scheme again in 2010. It’s been going since 1987 and we’re not planning on winding it up yet!
