We are currently accepting applications for a summer 2009 internship. The intern will work as a full member of the EARTH staff. Tasks include writing news articles for EARTH online, writing and editing news and trends articles for print, helping to edit and produce the magazine, and attending press briefings and science seminars in Washington, D.C., as needed.

Based at the American Geological Institute in Alexandria, Va., the internship is 12 weeks long and includes a $3,500 stipend. Starting time is flexible. All applications should be received by March 31, 2009. A background in the geosciences, writing and design work is a plus.
