Would you like to gain hands-on experience in science communication, work with an international academic audience, and contribute to a modern science communication project?
Olha Zadorozhna – a researcher working on governance, institutions, and resilience, Assistant Professor and Head of the Big Data Science program at Kozminski University, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Urban and Regional Development in Poland, and founder and host of the Policy Implications Podcast – is looking for an assistant to support her work on podcast production.
Policy Implications Podcast explores new research in economics and finance and discusses what it means for real-world policy, society, and decision-making. A special focus of the podcast is dedicated to Ukraine, the war, the economy, and the institutions that will shape the country’s future.
This is an opportunity for those interested in science, economics, public policy, international communication, media, or research popularization to gain practical experience in creating high-quality scientific audio content.
The assistant may support different stages of podcast production, including topic preparation, background research, communication with guests, preparation of episode descriptions, promotional texts, social media posts, and other tasks related to the development of the podcast.
This opportunity may be especially relevant for students, PhD candidates, early-career researchers, science communicators, or anyone interested in understanding how complex academic ideas can be transformed into accessible and engaging conversations for broader audiences.
Working on the podcast is not only a chance to develop science communication skills, but also an opportunity to expand professional networks, better understand the international academic environment, and contribute to a project that makes research more visible and impactful.
