TECHNOLOGY POLICY WRITER INTERN Technology Policy Writer Intern
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
The Science, Environment and Technology Policy Writer Intern contributes to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by completing essential tasks in the Policy Content department. The Science, Environment and Technology Policy Writer Intern will focus on writing political content for ONC, including but not necessarily limited to high-quality Op-Eds and Policy Proposals for ONC’s website. Though writers will be responsible for producing their own content, the process will be collaborative, with lots of political discussion in a respectful, nonpartisan environment. In addition to ensuring that diverse content appears on the site, this intern will participate in podcasts, produce infographics and research content for our new “Talking Points” feature on our website. Furthermore, this intern must ensure that ONC’s commitment to nonpartisanship, ideological diversity, and civil debate is evident in all published work. The Science, Environment and Technology writer role overlaps with many other policy fields, making it the perfect home for the analytical, macro-minded candidate. The Policy Writers team will consist of various writers that cover our 8 policy areas, Governance, Economics, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Foreign Policy and Defense, Justice and Public Safety, Social Issues, and Science, Environment and Technology. *A content-related writing sample will be requested if you are selected to interview. The content you will produce should be aimed at a general audience, not an academic one. The same goes for the requested writing sample. The Core Content Department will meet on Friday’s at 7:00pm (EST)/ 4:00pm (PST) with all writers, mentors, the Core Content Writing Team Lead, the Director of Policy Content and Strategy and the Managing Editor. This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication. The duration of this internship can be as short as a semester or as long as a year or more depending on their performance.
