Remote Science Internships

Remote Internships in Science

Here are a few examples of roles that our science interns have taken on before:

• Data Science

  Obtaining, analyzing, and preparing data is a key part of many remote internships in science. Just because they aren’t physically in a lab, doesn’t mean remote interns can’t gain experience in handling data. Interns may be asked to handle various data sets and use them to propose solutions and prepare reports.

• Policy

  Scientific policy is one of the most important areas of the field. It involves not only various areas of science, but also advocacy work, politics, and public communications. Interns begin to develop the skills required to explain scientific concepts to the public as well as to government agencies, and to advocate for the scientific community.

• Scientific Writing

  The ability to write clearly and accurately is a valuable, but rare, skill in the scientific field. Interns may assist in drafting reports, newsletters, articles, and press releases, to name just a few. Scientific writing roles are generally data-heavy, and interns also gain skills in data analysis and research.

• Research

  Most science internships include research tasks. Research skills, including reviewing case studies and analyzing data, are absolutely essential for a career in the scientific fields. Interns learn best practices and may even contribute to reports and studies.
