The Science Media Centre (SMC) is an independent press office for science, which works on some of the most controversial topics around. We have a very popular internship programme and applications are now open for the first half of 2020. Many of our interns have gone on to work in science press or media.

We’re a small team of eight and our interns provide invaluable support and get to see everything that we work on and do. The internship mainly involves research and administrative tasks and is most suitable for final-year undergrads, postgrad students or those looking for a career change. We have interns with us all year, with each working for four weeks. Our interns work full-time 35-hour weeks and we pay the London Living Wage (currently £10.55/hour).

We’ve just opened applications for our internship programme for the first half of 2020. This is a competitive application process and the deadline for the first stage of the process is 09:00 a.m. on Thursday 31st October 2019. We will aim to contact shortlisted candidates in the first week of November to invite them for an interview. This will take place at our offices in London later in November.
