The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science for the benefit of all people. For over a century, AAAS has been a force for science, from helping to establish science as a credible field in the 19th century to using satellite imaging technology to document human rights abuses in 2007. We are recognized as the world\u2019s largest general scientific society and the proud publisher of the Science family of journals. Past presidents have included astronomer Edward Charles Pickering, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and biologist Stephen Jay Gould. Our mission is centered on the belief that STEM research and education can help solve many of the challenges the world faces today.<\/span><\/div>\n

AAAS is a culture steeped in history, but adaptive to change and new ideas. We recognize the hard work of our employees and encourage the development of our staff.

We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time\u00a0SciLine Intern<\/b>\u00a0in Washington, DC. SciLine is a philanthropically funded, editorially independent, free service for journalists. Among its products are Fact Sheets on science-related topics in the news, typically about two pages long plus references, that are heavily researched, meticulously fact checked, and designed and formatted to be especially easy to use by reporters on deadline. By the end of the internship, the intern will have a strong portfolio of clear, well written, and factually accurate Fact Sheets released for journalistic and public consumption, as well as a deep immersive experience in the art and science of science communication and journalism more generally.<\/span><\/div>\n
