- Helping SciLine develop a partnership and stakeholder engagement strategy, and representing SciLine at journalism industry events and in conversations with collaborators and partner organizations.
- Learning about the knowledge, skill sets, and topical needs of a diverse landscape of local journalists and content creators and helping leaders of SciLine’s program areas best meet them.
- Being cross-trained in delivery of SciLine’s main services and serving as occasional backup for colleagues working in those areas, including helping run occasional training sessions for local journalists on how to access, understand, and incorporate more evidence-based scientific research and expertise into their work.
Minimum Requirements - A bachelor’s degree
