School's almost out, and io9 is looking for three interns who want to fill in those lazy summer months with frenzied research into science fiction and mad science. An intern works 5 - 10 hours per week doing research, fact-checking, and contacting sources in the science and entertainment industries for story ideas and information. You must be detail-oriented, obsessed with science and/or science fiction, and able to work very quickly.

Day-to-day, the job involves seeking out story ideas and helping editors gather more data for stories they're working on. Send us your resume and URLs for three samples of your writing by May 10. Sorry, you must be 18 or over to apply. Send materials to summerintern@io9.com.
