Help more students
get published.
YRI is a small team building the research fellowship we wish had existed when we were seventeen. Every role here is measured by one thing: how many more students finish with a paper under their own name.
We hire slowly and give a lot of rope. If either role fits, tell us why in your own words.
Content Creator
Make the content that gets a parent or a fifteen-year-old to take research seriously. Our best short reached 142,000 views by teaching one useful thing. Our worst was a brand announcement and reached five. Your job is to make far more of the first kind.
Write, shoot and edit short vertical video that teaches something real about doing and publishing research
Turn student outcomes into stories: a paper in IEEE Xplore, an ISEF qualification, an acceptance letter
Own a posting cadence across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok rather than shipping one-offs
Read the analytics yourself and let them decide what gets made next
You have a body of work we can watch, not a deck about content strategy
You can hold attention in the first two seconds without shouting
You would rather teach something true than say something loud
You can take a technical paper and explain it to a parent in thirty seconds
You care about education and about what happens to these students
Growth Intern
Scale the distribution engine for the Fellowship. The goal is straightforward: more qualified applications from ambitious high schoolers who want to become published researchers.
Build partnerships with schools, counselors, and education creators
Drive organic growth through social media and community outreach
Run campaigns that generate qualified applications, not just traffic
Test new distribution channels and double down on what works
You are scrappy and resourceful, and you find ways to reach people
You have done outreach, partnerships, or community building before
You move fast, test constantly, and will try unconventional strategies
You are comfortable with cold outreach and building relationships from scratch
You care about education and about what happens to these students
Nothing here fits, but you want in anyway
Write to us with what you would do in your first month. That is a better application than a resume.
