Mass Media Science Fellowship

Are you interested in an alternative science career, where you can communicate scientific reports to the public? If so, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has the perfect fellowship opportunity for you.

This fellowship is a 10-week long summer program, where you will work in one of the nationwide mass media organizations as a reporter, researcher, or production assistant.

In order to qualify, you must be a science college student or post doctoral student (within one year of your dissertation defense).

If you are interested, here is all the details: AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship

The deadline for the 2009 summer is January 15th, 2009.

Why talk about alternative science careers?

In the “Careers” category, our goal is very simple.

We will highlight and provide ideas for those who receive a scientific training, yet who would like to apply their knowledge and critical thinking skills in a non-traditional area.

In other words, we will write about careers that may require scientific training/thinking skills, but are not in the research field directly.

Why do we think this category important for this website?

If scientists are working in alternative careers, they will, beyond a doubt, bring a fresh perspective and a science-based way of thinking to that field, which will eventually benefit society in one way or another.
