About the Role

We are hiring a Science Writer for Earth.com who can bridge rigorous scientific research and public understanding. This role requires someone who works at the intersection of science and storytelling, able to transform dense, peer-reviewed research into compelling narratives that spark curiosity and drive understanding.

You will write about cutting-edge topics spanning climate science, chemistry, evolutionary biology, genetics, ecology, conservation, sustainability, and emerging technologies. This is not just about summarizing studies; it’s about translating them with accuracy, empathy, and impact. If you’re passionate about science and storytelling and love simplifying complexity without diluting meaning, we’d love to speak to you.

Responsibilities

• Write 2 well-researched, original science articles daily (800–1,200 words each) for a global science-curious audience
• Translate peer-reviewed studies into engaging, accurate, and accessible content without oversimplification
• Pitch and develop weekly story ideas from scientific journals, conferences, and global science news
• Conduct expert interviews with researchers and scientists to enrich reporting with authoritative insights
• Liaise with editors to refine storytelling, reader engagement, and headline strategies
• Contribute to fact-checking, copyediting, and multimedia content such as scripts for video explainers
• Stay on top of breakthroughs in environmental science, chemistry, genetics, climate change, and sustainability

Required Qualifications

• 3–7 years of professional experience in science writing, environmental reporting, or academic/science communication, with published work in reputable outlets strongly preferred
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a scientific discipline (e.g., Biology, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Earth Sciences, or related fields); advanced degrees are a plus
• Proven ability to explain complex scientific concepts in an accurate, engaging, and accessible way for general audiences
• Strong portfolio of published work (articles, features, explainers, or multimedia) in science, environment, or related fields
• Skilled in researching, sourcing, and accurately summarizing peer-reviewed studies
• Strong editorial instincts and attention to detail, with experience in fact-checking, editing, or copyediting scientific content
• Ability to balance technical precision with narrative-driven storytelling and a reader-first mindset
• Familiarity with newsroom workflows, content management systems, digital publishing tools, and SEO best practices
• Knowledge of academic publishing standards, citation formats, and scientific terminology

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Remote-first role with global reach
• A chance to work with a high-visibility science brand, read by millions monthly
• A collaborative editorial environment that values clarity, credibility, and creativity
• Opportunity to expand into multimedia science communication including scripts, thought leadership, and video content

We are not looking for science-focused news writers.
