traineeship for science communication student

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESF) are looking for a student interested in summer vacation work at their facility. The advert reads as follows:

We have a project for this summer, spanning about 6-8 weeks during June, July and August. We hope to find a native English speaker with a scientific background and an interest in communication. The project will be to write/edit the text for a new section of our website that will present a collaborative science project.  Organisational and editing skills are more important that web skills. An understanding of writing for the web would be beneficial.

Past trainees thought that working at the ESRF was a great experience, for them it was:
- an opportunity to spend a summer in Grenoble, France
- working at a major European Science Centre (640 employees and 3000 scientific visitors per year)
- working with scientists
- with English as the working language
- the trainee salary was thought sufficient to cover living expenses
