Open Jobs and Gigs for Medical Writers
 
Susan E Caldwell, PhDThe jobs listed in the Biotech Ink Insider weekly newsletter come to Susan Caldwell mostly by word-of-mouth and contact with hiring managers and recruiters. 
 
Because of the tough job market, the Insider now lists open jobs worldwide that are closely related to medical writing, or that have a strong writing role, regardless of their titles. Examples include biostatistician, director of clinical research, and other clinical research titles.
 
If you receive calls about staff or contract medical writing or related positions that 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.
