Communications Intern

Stockholm Environment Institute’s US Center seeks an energetic, versatile, intellectually curious, collaborative writer and communicator to help us identify and tell stories from our work, raise our global profile and boost our impact. SEI’s US Center staff work on a variety of timely environment and sustainable development issues, from climate change policy to water resource planning. While this job is US-based, it could involve projects from around the world, as well as opportunities to collaborate with SEI’s centers in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia. The US Center offers an international working environment, a warm and friendly culture, development opportunities within the communication field, and the ability to support a dynamic research team. SEI is a mission-driven, independent international research organization working to advance sustainable development through research, policy analysis and capacity-building. Headquartered in Sweden, SEI has a global reach with eight centers spanning five continents. SEI communications staff work closely with researchers to plan projects, shape messages, identify compelling stories, and share those stories and messages with diverse audiences. The SEI US communications intern will be able to tailor their workload to their interests, but the position will include an emphasis on clear, plain-language writing and storytelling. The person in this role will write feature stories about researchers’ work for SEI.org; update the website with new content; draft written and visual content for social media channels; and support virtual events with promotion and technical tasks. Opportunities in graphic design and video production will also be available should the intern be proficient in these areas.
