The Ecological Society of America (ESA) is looking for an intern, to be based at its Washington, DC, office, to help with the production of one of the Societys journals, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (www.frontiersinecology.org).
The internship is a great opportunity to learn about the scientific publishing process and how journals are produced. Depending on experience and aptitude, the intern will be involved in many different aspects of journal production, including editing/proofreading, writing, podcasting, and image research, as well as other day-to-day activities of the editorial office. The internship includes a small stipend. The successful applicant should have a knowledge of ecology and/or environmental science; an interest in, or experience with, publishing or science writing would be an advantage. Resume and cover letter, together with letters from two referees, should be sent electronically to Dr Sue Silver, Frontiers Editor-in-Chief ([email protected]). Please specify availability between mid-April and the end of August. Closing date for applications is April 30, 2011. The ESA is a non-partisan, nonprofit professional society, founded in 1915, to promote ecological science. Applicants unfamiliar with the ESA are encouraged to visit www.esa.org.
