Turn BMLSIA's events, people, and ideas into stories worth reading, from press releases to member features.
BMLSIA trains biomedical scientists to build tech driven health solutions. Every workshop, outreach, and fellow’s win is a story. Most of them never get told well.
As Content Writer, you fix that. You work closely with our Chief Editor and Communications Lead, and with other team members when needed, to produce writing that informs, moves people, and represents BMLSIA properly.
You also double as our story journalist. You show up (in person or online) at our events, capture what happened, talk to the people involved, and turn it into clean, accurate, engaging content.
This role is for a writer who is curious, careful with facts, and fast on deadlines. If you can make a lab bench story feel human, you belong here.
