Do you like science and love to write?

The intern will work as a member of the Geotimes staff: writing for the News Notes section and other parts of the magazine, writing weekly Web Extras for Geotimes online, attending press briefings and science seminars in Washington, D.C., and helping to edit and produce the magazine for print and Web.

Based at the American Geological Institute in Alexandria, Va., the internship is 12 weeks long and includes a $3,500 stipend. Starting time is flexible. All applications should be received by March 31, 2008. A background in the geosciences is a plus.
