Retraction Watch covers science and research integrity through the lens of retractions. Its staff of two full-time journalists, as well as its two founding editors and a network of freelance writers, publish daily stories on research integrity, scientific misconduct, publishing, accountability, and more.
Thanks to funding from generous donors, we are able to offer a summer and fall journalism internship in 2025. The internship is 10 weeks long (with an possible extension up to 12 weeks), 35 hours per week, and pays $20/hour. It is a remote position. The intern is expected to write two to three stories per week.
Strong candidates will have a solid understanding of academic science and scientific publishing, as well as training in science journalism and a keen interest in accountability journalism.
The deadline to apply for the summer internship is March 7. Your application package should include your resume, three samples of your work, and answers to these questions:
- Why are you interested in the internship at Retraction Watch?
- What training and/or experience do you have in accountability journalism?
- What skills and perspectives would you bring to Retraction Watch?
