Truly Curious Hiring! Remote Campus Ambassador - Science Communication Internship in - Ricebowl

About Truly Curious

Truly Curious is a global, open-access science publication dedicated to sharing the human stories behind world-changing research. We are launching an international initiative connecting elementary students' biggest "how" and "why" science questions directly with top working researchers—and bringing those questions to life across higher-ed campuses through engaging, high-impact short-form media.

Our campus media teams run two primary content formats: Street Science Interviews (asking college students live on camera to explain complex questions in plain terms) and Silent Whiteboard Challenges (holding up a board with a kid’s question written on it). Both formats conclude with a validated expert breakdown directly from our partner researchers.

Role Type: Internship (Semester-Based | 2-5 hrs/week - Opportunities for Additional Hours)

Compensation: Academic Credit Eligible + Stipend. Performance Bonuses Provided.

Location: On-Campus / Remote

While this is a fully remote role open to applicants worldwide, we are heavily in favor of candidates based in Colorado, New York, London, Singapore, Melbourne, or Kenya.
