AI generated summary

  • You need 2+ years in life sciences writing, knowledge of Pharma/Biotech, strong writing skills, creativity, attention to detail, and ideally a PhD and editing experience.
  • You will write technical and creative content, collaborate with client teams, conduct SME interviews, and embrace diverse topics in the life sciences while continually learning and developing your skills.

Requirements

  • 2+ years working in life science writing and content development in an agency or publishing setting
  • Experience and knowledge of the Pharma and Biotech, CRO and CMO sectors
  • Good understanding of analytical methods used across these sectors
  • The ability to write clearly and concisely

Responsibilities

  • By joining our team, you’ll get to work on seriously cool topics with clients across the globe — from food fraud, to using AI to optimise protein folding, to cancer vaccines. And don’t even get us started on the technologies you’ll encounter. Essentially, if you love learning about anything and everything in the life science space, this is the job for you.
  • But what would your role actually involve? In short, your role would involve writing a mixture of technical content including whitepapers, eBooks and blog posts, as well as creative content (e.g. social media posts, web copy, email copy, infographics etc.). This role would suit someone who loves immersing themselves in a topic and writing for most of their day (although there is typically time each week allocated to working and brainstorming with the client account teams as part of briefing sessions, and you’ll join and run SME interviews with clients). It would also appeal to someone who loves learning new things, craves variety and enjoys pushing themselves to develop outside of their comfort zone. At BioStrata there are opportunities to develop your role in the future, potentially as a content editor where you could lead and manage a team of writers, though the desire to do this is not a requirement.
