Hey guys, we need a new intern for the new year in New York City. Here's what you need to know and what we want out of you, besides blood, sweat and the occasional tear:

What You Need
• Gadget love and knowledge
• An alarm clock, 'cause you'll be up early every morning
• Basic experience with HTML, Flickr—the internets, essentially
• An NYC address (really, we need you in the city)
• Dedication—the job's fun (so I've been told), but it's definitely work

What You'll Be Doing
• Spotting amazing stories
• Helping us pull together stories
• Supporting editors in the field doing live reporting, SWAT-team style
• Writing, eventually, if you're awesome

Pay is not amazing (really, don't expect to pay your rent with it) but you'll get top-notch experience with the well-oiled blog machine that is Giz, learn lots of dirty jokes, and yes, get to play with (and very possibly keep) cool gadgets. Keep in mind, it's a 9-5 kind of gig. Send your resume—NO ATTACHMENTS, DEAR GOD, NO ATTACHMENTS—and tell us why you're the best person on earth, or at least in NY, to tips@gizmodo.com, with NYC INTERN in the subject line, otherwise we might miss it. Good luck!
