Communications Associate
American Association for the Advancement of Science
Job description
This position exists to help promote and facilitate accurate coverage of the findings from the Science family of journals – specifically Science Advances, our highest volume journal – in the media worldwide. This includes serving as a liaison between authors of forthcoming papers and their affiliated press officers, across a range of time-sensitive questions, and some 7,000 journalists.
Part of serving the latter group, journalists, involves recruiting, curating, and/or editing multimedia content that they can use in their stories. Another critical part of this role is the weekly “construction” of the press package – for Science Advances. They will also report back on media coverage metrics and article tracking.
