Internship Program

Civic Science Journalism Internship

Launched in June 2020, the Civic Science Journalism Internship offers undergraduate students in any field the opportunity to research and report on the latest developments in various civic science fields, including public engagement, science communication, citizen science, and science policy. Through investigative storytelling, interns create in-depth thought pieces that contribute to ongoing discussions and inform future coverage on video, radio, or digital print.

The main goal of the program is to give undergraduates the time, space, and community to critically explore the landscape of civic science.

Apply

If interested, please email the lab director at f.muindi@northeastern.edu with your CV or resume, and a pitch for 2-3 potential investigative stories you would like to pursue during your internship. Applications are accepted throughout the year. See the list of past stories from interns here.

Eligibility

Please note the internship is currently only open to undergraduate students across the network of Northeastern University campuses around the world.
