Are you a bright, creative writer that is passionate about telling scientific stories? If so, then BioStrata might be the right place for you. We’re a fast-paced, rapidly growing, international agency where you can put your scientific knowledge, creativity, writing skills and energy to good use. You don’t need to have any previous marketing experience, but a passion for science writing is a must. Previous experience in commercial science writing would be an advantage, but is not essential for this entry-level role.

What we do

We combine the worlds of science and marketing communications to open eyes, change perceptions and support the growth and development of the life science community. Ultimately, the work we do ensures that companies, scientists and healthcare experts find and understand the technologies they need to drive discovery and improve the world around us. It’s why we are here. It’s what we are passionate about. It’s why we are one of the leaders in this field. To learn more about what it’s like to be a science writer at BioStrata, check out this blog post.

We’re looking for talented individuals to join our awesome team. Is this you?

The Science Writer role

This full-time role is perfect for someone looking to develop within commercial scientific communications, has a passion for writing and wants to put their scientific knowledge and practical research experience to use as a subject matter expert within our client-based account teams. Ideally, you would have:

  • A PhD in a life science subject (ideally related to molecular biology)
  • The ability to write clearly and concisely
  • The skill to translate complex scientific ideas into compelling stories
  • A flair for creative writing (e.g. creating compelling, engaging social media posts)
  • Exceptional written and spoken English, including excellent grammar
  • An eye for detail
  • A passion for learning
  • An interest in working within a commercial environment
  • A desire to be a strong team player

What will you do?

By joining our team, you’ll get a full perspective on working within an integrated marketing agency and the chance to work with clients across the globe. 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). It would also appeal to someone who loves learning new things, craves variety (we write about many different scientific topics) and enjoys pushing themselves to develop outside of their comfort zone.
