Open Jobs and Gigs for Medical Writers |
The jobs listed in the Biotech Ink Insider come to us mostly by word-of-mouth and direct contact with hiring managers and recruiters. If no new jobs are communicated to us in a given week, the Insider won't be published that week. See also our disclaimer at the bottom of the newsletter.
Because of the tough job market in recent months, we are now publishing jobs that are closely related to medical writing, or that have a strong writing role, regardless of their titles.
If you're a writer or editor and are getting calls about staff or contract positions you aren't interested in, please forward the job information to Susan Caldwell at caldwell@biotechink.com. We'd be delighted to publish such positions in the next issue of the Insider. |
