Last Call: Science Writing Postdoctoral Fellow Internship Program

Description
The internship program is designed to introduce Quad-based postdoctoral fellows to professional science writing and to provide the opportunity for fellows to interact with the Office of Communications and External Relations staff and writers at Harvard Medical School. The semester-long program will allow fellows the experience of producing research briefs and feature articles for the monthly Harvard Medical School publication Focus.

Under the direction of the Focus staff, fellows will conduct research on specific news topics as assigned, perform any necessary interviews of researchers, and draft copy suitable for publication. At the end of the internship, fellows will have a portfolio of published stories to add to their CV.

Eligibility
The program is open to current Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine Quad-based postdoctoral fellows. Postdoctoral fellows who have a primary affiliation with one of Harvard’s teaching hospitals are not eligible to participate. Fellows are required to discuss the internship and its time commitment (~ 5 hours per week) with their faculty sponsor/principal investigator (signature and contact information required on application).

Applications are due to the Postdoc Office by August 21st @ 5pm.

- For more information, please see the attached application form.
- Please note there is only 1 opening for the fall semester (beginning ~ early-mid September).
- DO NOT contact the Focus staff directly regarding the internship opportunity - any and all decisions will be communicated through the Postdoc Office.
