Science Audio Producer

The Conversation is looking for a part-time audio producer to make science stories for our global podcast, The Conversation Weekly. You will join a small but energetic audio team interviewing scholars worldwide to help bring research-based perspectives and expertise to a general audience. The podcast covers various topics, including hard sciences to health, politics, economics, and culture. Working alongside the podcast hosts, you will be the main producer of science stories for the podcast. This will involve pitching and researching story ideas, finding and pre-interviewing academics for interviews; working with hosts on story structure, directing interview sessions, script-writing; and editing stories ahead of a final mix by our sound designer. We’re looking for a producer with a track record in audio storytelling, particularly in making complex science topics accessible for a non-expert listener. The role will involve working across time zones with colleagues around the world.
