Your Role

We’re looking for an aspiring scientific writer or learning designer to join our Content team this summer. In this role, you’ll directly impact the accessibility of our Lt learning platform, ensuring that our life sciences content is equitable and inclusive for students worldwide. You won’t just be writing alternative text descriptions for our Lt Content, you’ll be building a crucial skill set in digital accessibility (WCAG 2.1) and experience working in a professional EdTech content development. You’ll be fully supported by our experienced content team as you translate complex scientific images into text descriptions for vision-impaired students. 


The Team

We value diversity of all kinds, and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team where we learn from each other.

The Business

At ADI we are making science easier. We're a leader in our field and have the team to make it happen. We are passionate about science and technology and finding solutions to the global health trilemma - reducing the burden of chronic disease and expanding healthcare capacity.

You will be part of a company that prides itself on global collaboration and its inclusive employee culture. At ADI you will have the opportunity to work within a flexible, hybrid working environment with the Dunedin office located in the heart of a modern cafe precinct. You will have ample opportunity for learning and development, and have hands on support.

We are a collaborative team, so you should feel comfortable working and contributing within a group context, managing your time and working towards a common goal.


We’re excited about you because you’ll bring:

  • Currently studying, or recently completed, an Undergraduate degree in Life Sciences (minimum of 2 years of study).
  • Some knowledge of, or a desire to learn, the following skills and tools:
    • Accessibility standards
