Community site paid internship at The Company of Biologists

The Company of Biologists currently has an opportunity for a paid three-month internship to work on our community sites – the Node, preLights and FocalPlane. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in the rapidly growing online science communication environment, to develop writing skills, and to learn about academic publishing.

Together, the Company’s three community sites provide platforms for the research community to share news, discuss issues relevant to the field, and read about the latest research and events. The Node is a field-specific site for developmental biologists, FocalPlane aims to bring together the microscopy and biology communities, and preLights is focussed on highlighting the preprint literature and exploring the journey from preprint to publication. The intern will be involved in the day-to-day running of one or more of the sites and will be mentored by the existing Community Manager(s). The internship will be based in our office in Cambridge, with hybrid working opportunities. Please see the full role description for further details.

We are looking for an intern to start in summer 2025. The closing date for applications is 5 June 2025. To apply, please send a CV and cover letter, stating why you are interested in this opportunity, to recruitment@biologists.com. Please also direct informal enquiries to the same addresses. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
