The Springer Nature Opening Doors internship is a paid opportunity for students and recent graduates in the UK, US and Germany to gain experience in research, education and science news publishing in our journals, books or magazines.

Many groups and perspectives are currently underrepresented in the publishing industry, which is a challenge that we are actively trying to address at Springer Nature. We are seeking candidates who believe they can contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion in our organisation, in our content, or both. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and we particularly encourage candidates from historically underrepresented groups to apply, including but not limited to Black people, Indigenous people and people of colour, people from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people from underrepresented social castes, religious minorities and people with a disability and/or a neurodivergent condition.

Applicants should be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate programme, or have recently graduated. Starting in June 2024, the internship can last up to six months.

Interns will join one of our teams in Research Publishing, Education, Healthcare, Solutions or Sustainability, contributing to real projects and benefiting from the experience of talented professionals. They will also have the chance to: 

• Learn more about the job application process at Springer Nature with our Talent Attraction teams
• Meet regularly with a buddy from one of our employee networks
• Join events to learn more about the different business areas at Springer Nature
• Get involved with opportunities relating to diversity, equity and inclusion and the impact of research on sustainability
• Build your network with the other interns and connections across Springer Nature
