Job Description
The Economist is a world reknowned English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd and edited in offices in the City of Westminster, London.

Our primary focus is world news, politics and business, but from time to time we run regular sections on science and technology as well as books and the arts. Approximately every two weeks, the publication adds an in-depth special report on a particular issue, business sector or geographical region.

We invite applications for the 2011 Richard Casement internship. We are looking for a would-be journalist to spend three months of the summer working on the newspaper in London, writing about science and technology. Our aim is more to discover writing talent in a science student or scientist than scientific aptitude in a budding journalist.

Applicants should write a letter introducing themselves and an original article of about 600 words that they think would be suitable for publication in the Science and Technology section. They should be prepared to come for an interview in London or New York, at their own expense. A small stipend will be paid to the successful candidate.

Applications must reach us by February 25th. These should be sent to: casement2011@economist.com
