Temporary - Reporter

IEEE is the world’s largest professional technical organization with over 500,000 members worldwide, and IEEE Spectrum is the organization’s award-winning flagship publication. We are looking for a journalism intern with a background or a strong interest in science and technology, who is interested in explaining technological breakthroughs to a broad, but educated, audience.

The internship is mostly reporting and writing news for the website and the magazine. However, past interns have also been involved in features for special reports, infographics, and other parts of the publication. The goal is for the intern to come away having written a number of in-depth news stories. The heart of most such stories is explaining how something that's quite complicated works. That's our bread-and-butter, and our readers are very demanding about it. So if you can do it here, you can do it anywhere.

Internships typically run June to August. You’ll work out of our New York City office up to 30 hours per week.

Demonstrated interest in science or technology journalism. Bachelors degree in engineering, computer science, or physical sciences preferred.
