Now is your chance to pitch for an assignment that would have you covering the future of science and technology for a new website. Ready to get started? Here's the scoop:

First, you must be a professional journalist or editor with proven experience covering the field of science and technology, so that you can provide ongoing coverage of one (or possibly more) of the the following fields:

Health/Medicine
Sci-Fi
Consumer Electronics
Space/NASA
Transportation (planes/trains/autos)
Robotics

Think in terms of the future of these fields. We'll want you to cover "the next big thing" kind of discoveries.

Second, if you believe you are qualified, please send an e-mail as described below. We'll e-mail you back if we want you to proceed. Please do not press "Claim this" -- just submit through the e-mail address.

Third, the deadline to Apply: Friday, July 31, 11:59 PM EST

And finally, here is exactly how to apply for the assignment:

Send an e-mail to this address: john+seedtech@studionow.com with the subject line of "Coverage of the Future." Include whichever field(s) you are applying for.

Include the following information:

Your name and phone number
Your writing background (a full resume is recommended)
3-5 writing samples that demonstrate your experience and your grasp of the subject matter
7-10 ideas for stories that you think would deliver on what we are looking for and be of interest to readers

Compensation and time-commitment are still TBD.

Please note: the selection of the appropriate person through SEED is not guaranteed. We will only select those who clearly demonstrate the ability to deliver on the above expectations.
