Producer/Writer – Science & Society (Learning Media)

Global Tinker (www.globaltinker.com) is seeking a versatile writer to help shape an innovative newsletter exploring where science, society, and imagination meet.

We’re building a publication that makes complex ideas accessible and meaningful — connecting discoveries and data to human impact, curiosity, and culture. The ideal candidate is as comfortable unpacking research and trends as they are crafting stories that stick with readers.

Writers should bring a multidisciplinary lens — blending curiosity, evidence-based thinking, and storytelling craft — and a strong interest in how science and technology shape everyday life.
This is a paid, freelance-based role with opportunities to grow into ongoing editorial work.

Graduate Contributor – Science & Communities Project

We are launching a new initiative that combines journalism, media, and science communication to highlight science in ways that create real impact for communities. We’re seeking a graduate student contributor who is creative, independent, and eager to help shape a new voice in this space.

The role is ideal for an innovative student interested in combining writing, research, and media production with science storytelling. Entrepreneurial thinkers are especially appreciated—this is a chance to get in on the ground floor of a project with growth potential.

Responsibilities include:
- Researching and drafting short features or story elements
- Supporting newsletter development and audience engagement strategies
- Contributing ideas on format, design, or new approaches

This is a part-time paid position (5–10 hrs/week for $20 hour, starting), with room to grow as the project develops.
