Science Communication Industrial Placement

• We are looking to fill five science communication industrial placements to play a full role in promoting STFC science to a range of audiences. You will join a departmental team that plays a major role within STFC, promoting science through a range of channels including websites, social media, specialist and national media, events, exhibitions and education activities. 
• A passion for science and technology, an enjoyment of writing, a willingness to learn new techniques and the ability to explain sometimes complex subject matter in an engaging and understandable way to the general public is key for this role. This placement will allow you to develop your communication skills, both through written and other formats, by promoting our science to a wide range of audiences. You must be able to work well both individually and as part of a team and be interested in a wide range of scientific areas and how science impacts on society. You might be a science student wanting to switch into science communication or you might be a journalism student seeking to specialise in science.

The five positions will be based in the following departments: 

• ISIS Neutron and Muon Source
• The Central Laser Facility
• Scientific Computing Department
• Particle Physics Department
• Strategy Planning and Communications directorate
