Across our organization, we’re building a workplace where collaboration is essential, diverse voices are heard, and inclusion is the key to our success. 

NPR’s Fall 2020 Internship Program will be fully remote. 

Program Duration: September 8 - December 11, 2020

The Motion Graphics Intern will assist in creating original 2D animation and motion graphics for a range of editorial projects, spanning the NPR newsroom, podcasting and NPR Music. We look for animators who can work in a range of styles and who can translate big ideas into smart and compelling visuals. This is a paid, full-time, 40-hour a week internship working remotely. It will require occasional late nights/odd hours.

Applications without obvious links to your website, online portfolio, or to specific video work will be dismissed. Show those portfolio links prominently on your resume, not somewhere else where we might miss them. It’s the first thing we look at.
