Slate is looking for an intern for its Technology section, which encompasses science, health, tech, tech policy, and business, and includes the Future Tense vertical. The intern will be responsible for writing articles and assisting with editorial research. They must be organized, have a proven interest in journalism, and be familiar with Slate’s style of analysis and opinion. They must also be able to work efficiently and without much supervision. This is not a podcasting position. Experience in science, tech, and/or health reporting is very helpful but not a requirement. 
 
Candidates should be available to work between 20 and 40 hours per week. (We can schedule hours around classes.) Candidates may work from Slate’s D.C. or Brooklyn office, or remotely. This internship is paid $15 per hour and runs for 90 days. This position would be a good fit for a current or recently graduated student who is considering a career in journalism.
 
The internship will run from September to December. The deadline to apply is July 31st. 

Application requirements
 
A brief cover letter that includes a few sentences about why you’re interested in a Slate internship. At the bottom of your cover letter, please include links to three clips (preferably under 1,000 words each). 

A short pitch—150 words max—for a Slate story. This pitch can be on any topic, and it can be newsy or evergreen, but should feel in line with Slate’s voice. For guidance on what makes a good Slate pitch, please consult this document.
