Responsibilities include:

  • Produce digital content highlighting scientific advancements and growth. Content includes: (1) YouTube video shorts, (2) social media posts, (3) website copy, (4) other online content
  • Coordinate and communicate with senior institute faculty to pitch stories and obtain approval.
  • Interview student, postdoctoral, and faculty scientists about their work.

Tasks: Video editing, Video production, Web content production, Interviewing, Storytelling

Timing: January 12 – May 1, 2026

Location: As scientific teams are based around the United States, the communications fellow role will be a remote position. Depending on your location, you may have the opportunity to participate in in-person activities.

Funding:  $600/week for the fellowship duration for trainees participating full-time (40 hours/week). Part-time participation is welcome, and stipends for part-time participation will be pro-rated according to time spent.
