Florida PIRG seeks interns for spring

SPRING 2021 INTERNSHIPS FOR AN 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY CAMPAIGN 

In the months leading up to the 2020 election, hundreds of student volunteers with Florida PIRG Students reached out to their peers on college campuses across the state to register them to vote and turn them out on Election Day. Now, we’re working on a campaign to tackle the biggest issue of our time – climate change.

We’ve been talking about the effects of climate change for decades, but now we’re really experiencing them, especially in Florida where our coastlines and natural habitats are in increasing danger. We know, more than any other generation, that we need to transition away from fossil fuels and repower our communities with clean, safe, renewable energy like wind and solar. Our future depends on it, and that’s why we’re calling on our campuses to commit to 100% renewable energy by 2050.

Interns will: 

· Gain firsthand experience into the environmental and campaigning process 

· Sharpen your communication skills by working with the media 

· Learn to develop and run an effective campaign to influence decision-makers 

· Gain experience recruiting and working with volunteers  

· Learn to build a coalition and work with coalition partners 

· Work remotely while making an impact 

We are working hard on college campuses across the state to defend our future and make our communities more sustainable, especially in the wake of ongoing changes and barriers caused by COVID-19. Want to join? Fill out an application and an organizer will be in touch with you shortly!

Moffitt Cancer Center Innovation Office needs an intern – 1-year commitment

Business of Biotech Conference

The conference is held each year at Moffitt with 500 people registered (375 attendees).  The conference has a networking reception and leadership dinner the evening before the conference.  The conference day events are a private breakfast for leadership and local leaders, a keynote address- with a well-known research person interviewed by a recognized interviewer (past three years Sam Donaldson).  Breakfast and lunch are provided and there are 3 or 4 educational sessions held.  The intern’s main responsibility is the conference planning and execution.

• Before monthly/bi-monthly planning council meetings:
  • Compose the agenda (ask Katherine for items to include)
  • Edit the task list
    • Check the Excel spreadsheet titled “Planning Council Committees and Responsibilities-Task Sheets” to see if there are any tasks that need to be added based on the number of months until BOB (FYI, there is a new version in the BOB2018 file and an older one elsewhere)
    • Check in with people via email about their assigned tasks for the upcoming meeting, adjust task list as they are completed
    • Tasks are to be grouped by time (Ex. All tasks for January listed before all tasks due in February) and also by assigned person (group Jarett’s tasks together, Patti’s tasks together, etc.)
    • Completed Tasks are to be placed at the end of the task list and colored in light gray and marked COMPLETE by their due date
  • Send an email to everyone on the Business of Biotech email list, reminding them of the upcoming meeting and include all necessary documents (do at least one day before)
• During meetings:
  • Take note of everyone who is present
  • Take copious notes about concerns, solutions, things that need to be added to the task list, etc.
• After meetings:
  • Compose updated meeting summary using template of previous year’s meeting summary
  • Update task list with new and completed tasks
  • Send both of these items as attachments on an email to the Business of Biotech email group. In the body of the email, remind them of the date of the next meeting.
• Conference responsibilities include writing talking points for leadership for networking reception, leadership breakfast, and keynote address introduction, coordinating panelist travel and presentation materials, assisting with marketing materials and branding for the conference.  Help with sponsorship commitments.

Annual Report

• Writing articles for the annual report- produced in April/May and final copy approved in August.  Assist with design theme selection.

Web maintenance

• Check these links once per week to make sure the webpages are working properly:
  • http://moffitt.org/research–clinical-trials/research-disciplines/working-groups/forever-free
    • Click “View Samples or Place Order” and make sure viewers are able to place an order
    • If there is an error, make a report on iStar to send to IT (Remember, you have to click “Save” on the top left hand corner of iStar or the report will not actually send to IT)
  • www.moffittip.com
    • Should redirect to http://otmc.moffitt.org/ automatically
    • If it does not, notify Katherine Durkin that web domain is no longer ours
      • Ask if she would like you to notify Desiree Perry, who helped to create the new website (otmc.moffitt.org)

Corporate Meetings

Interns participate in all staff meetings (voluntary), team building exercises, and meetings with other departments as appropriate.

• Dress business formal for all meetings with external companies (such as Celgene, LION, Rosetta, etc.)
• Duties may include: preparing and organizing documents, meeting logistics (such as food setup), or guiding visitors to the meeting space. Do not be afraid to introduce yourself, it looks well on Moffitt if you do and are polite; it is also good experience for you. Listen closely during meetings, learn as much as you can.

Agreements

• Whether it is a Strategic Alliance or a Licensing Agreement, you may be asked to summarize the relationship between Moffitt and the partner or licensee
• There are templates and guidelines for both situations to guide you as you review the legal documents and emails to gather information.

Composing Documents

• For all documents, use Trebuchet font for the main heading (Pt. 16 and bold) and Calibri front for the body (Typically 11 for body, while bold and larger for subheadings)
• Save all updated documents by date (Ex. An article I worked on in December will change from Article-12.13.2014.docx to Article-1.16.2015.docx in January if I update it)
• All documents being sent to executive level persons (not including Jarett Rieger) should be reduced to fit on one page unless otherwise specified
• When printing Excel spreadsheets, fit all information from one sheet in the book to one page of print (Each sheet of the Excel book gets one page of print, when possible). Do not sacrifice legibility for this purpose.

Sending Emails

• When sending emails to individuals you have not met, it is good practice to introduce yourself as the business intern for the Innovation Office or to tell them you are contacting them on behalf of Katherine Durkin, a name that will likely be more familiar to them
• You represent the Innovation Office when you send emails, so be polite

Oceana needs an intern to work remotely

SPRING 2021 Oceana Campaign Intern- (Virtual)  

www.oceana.org  

About Oceana:  
Oceana was established by a group of leading foundations — The Pew Charitable Trusts, Oak Foundation, Marisla Foundation (formerly Homeland Foundation), Sandler Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund — after a 1999 study they commissioned discovered that less than 0.5 percent of all resources spent by environmental nonprofit groups in the United States went to ocean advocacy. 

No organization was working exclusively to protect and restore the oceans on a global scale. To fill the gap, our founders created Oceana: an international organization focused solely on oceans, dedicated to achieving measurable change by conducting specific, science-based policy campaigns with fixed deadlines and articulated goals. 

The Ocean Law Project — also initiated by The Pew Charitable Trusts — was absorbed into Oceana in 2001 as Oceana’s legal arm. In 2002, Oceana merged with American Oceans Campaign, founded by actor and environmentalist Ted Danson, to more effectively address our common mission of protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. 

Since its founding, Oceana has won more than 225 victories and protected nearly 4 million square miles of ocean. Find out more about how Oceana is helping to save the oceans victory by victory.

·        Protecting our coast from new offshore drilling and working towards passing permanent protections in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico.  

·        Defending critical marine wildlife protection laws, such as the Marine Mammal Protection Act from attacks 

Responsibilities: The intern’s main responsibilities will be to assist the Gulf Coast Campaign Organizer in hosting online events and meetings, acting as a liaison and managing social media posts for the Suncoast Rise Above Plastics Coalition and building relationships with new student supporters of Oceana’s campaigns. 

Interns will receive a training on Oceana’s campaign structure and will learn how to build grassroots movements to influence local, state and federal policy. There are opportunities to shadow the Campaign Organizer at Headquarter Level meetings and participate in planning sessions with the statewide environmental coalition of NGO’s.  

Internship period: The Spring 2021 internship will last 3 months with the intern contributing 10-12 hours/ week and will start in January or February 2021.  

About you: The ideal candidate for the Oceana Campaign Internship would be someone who has a strong passion for the health of our oceans and coastal communities, someone who can motivate people to take small actions, understand and communicate a theory of change (why something works to create a positive change), be proficient in word processing and social media. 

How to Apply: E-mail Hunter Miller (hmiller@oceana.org) with a resume and a statement of interest no more than 400 words that answers the following questions:

Social Media/Design intern needed

Writer Seeking Social Media / Design Savvy Intern/Assistant for a Project, with Option to Extend to a Longer Term Basis. 

About Me: My name is Meghan Palmer and I’m a writer (of essays and fiction) living in Brooklyn. I work full time in brand marketing at Condé Nast and I also write a weekly cultural commentary newsletter called that’s so interesting designed to give readers better things to talk about. I’ve worked in marketing (content, production, digital, social) my entire seven year career, and while I understand how social media works, I am not talented at the visual creation aspect of the platform, nor do I enjoy it. That’s where you come in! I’m looking for someone to help me get set up on social so that I can cross-promote my newsletter content on my Instagram page. Longer term, I might consider using the selected candidate to help me with other projects (i.e. turning my newsletter content into Reel/TikTok videos, helping me pitch my writing to other writers/ digital publications, visual branding for my portfolio, etc.). 

About the Ideal Candidate: First and foremost , the ideal candidate must have a keen eye and established skill set with digital design– you need to be able to create beautiful graphics that work well on social channels. They should also have a solid understanding of the social media landscape, a forward-looking view of social media trends and the ability to create a visual brand identity on social media. I’m open to current college students, entry level workers, etc. It’s not about your year experience, it’s about your talent/creativity. BIPOC + LGBTQ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. 

What You’ll Be Doing: Initially, I am hiring on a project basis. Pending how the initial project turns out, I am open to hiring for a more longer-term freelance capacity. Initial project  will include the following responsibilities: 

1. Creating 4-6 digital “moodboards” to establish the visual brand aesthetic for our social posts. Once complete, I will review the different options and decide what aesthetic is the best fit, and we will use the selected board as a baseline for what the social posts will look like moving forward. Each moodboard should include a handful of images and sample posts (can come from other social accounts, you would not need to create from scratch)
2. Creating 6-8 post templates. Once we’ve decided on the post aesthetic, I’ll have you create a handful of post templates (on Canva) that I can use in the future. I’ll walk you through ideas for the types of posts I’d like you to create templates for so that the direction is clear. 
3. Creating 10-12 social posts using content from my newsletter. Once we’ve decided on the aesthetic and created the post templates, I’ll have you create a small store of content I save to post on social on a rolling basis. The actual content to include in the posts already exists (in my newsletter), but you will be responsible for synthesizing that content into social-ready images. I will work with you to guide what pieces of content from past newsletters should be turned into posts, and you will create the posts and send them to me for review. 

About My Work/that’s so interesting: Prior to applying, please familiarize yourself with my writing to gain a better understanding of my voice, the type of content I share, etc. You can find the “that’s so interesting” archive here, and the about page here. Please read 3-4 previous editions prior to applying. 

Pay Rate: $200 flat fee for initial project listed above, with a possible option to extend to an hourly basis ($15/hr) pending satisfaction of the project results

How to Apply: Send an email to meghanpatriciapalmer(at)gmail(dot)com with:

•  A little about you (previous experience + why you think you’d be a good fit for the role)

Job: Reporter with the Business Observer

Description:

Seeking a savvy business reporter

Sick of the daily grind? Us too. But just because we’re a weekly doesn’t mean we’re not always churning out content. Whether it’s for the web or print, the pace is fast, the stories are fun and the pay is competitive here at the Business Observer.

Control your schedule, pursue fun projects and stories and write about great entrepreneurs, companies, industries and business trends. Plus, stay on top of the daily news with posts to our award-winning website. 

If you are a magazine-style writer who loves business writing and has experience, we want you.

We write intelligent stories for C-suite readers. In addition to following the latest business news in the area, our print stories go deeper to explain trends, strategies and how business leaders are finding success in their industry. Our readers turn to us to learn lessons and find out who’s doing what from Tampa to Naples. 

To write for CEOs you need to think like one, and you need to know what they care about most. In fact, that’s our in-house motto: “Boss needs to know.” This means a superstar applicant will have experience in business journalism or a background in business with journalism experience.

We currently have openings for two business reporters: One will cover the Tampa Bay area (Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough); the other will cover Lee and Collier counties.

Before applying, do your homework. Visit BusinessObserverFL.com to learn more about who we are and what we do. Scroll down to the “featured stories” section. If you feel you can write these kinds of stories with clarity, wit and expertise, prove it in an email that inspires us to pick up the phone. Accompanying it should be a resume and 3-5 clips of your best work. Please send both to Managing Editor Mark Gordon at MGordon@BusinessObserverFL.com.

No phone calls, please. 

Benefits:

• Full-time, with benefits including health, dental, vision, life and 401k
• Competitive pay commensurate with experience

Basic Duties:

• Cover Tampa Bay or Lee/Collier beat for weekly business newspaper for CEO readers
• Write daily web items that cover business news in your territory
• Contribute stories to fill your section each week in print, as well as contribute features to the feature section of the paper.
• Represent the paper at events and network in the area
• Although we are all working from home, you must be based in the area you’re covering.
