We're looking for an editorial intern who can assist the lead editors of our new technology site launching in March, called FastCoLabs. We will focus on stories about the people who build killer apps, design ingenious interfaces, and make magic happen inside the computing devices we use every day. An interest in technology is strongly preferred, but deep expertise is not a pre-requisite. We are looking for someone approximately 20 hours a week. The schedule is flexible.

If you were to join FC as an editorial intern this week, you'd help our editors get ready to launch the new site: contacting sources, doing background research, and producing news stories. Once the site is launched, you'll have the opportunity to write short articles and help us brainstorm new editorial franchises.
