At Diamond Light Source, we would like to increase our stable of experienced freelance writers who can turn a published research paper into an accessible web summary for a science-literate audience.

Diamond is the UK’s national synchrotron facility, performing molecular-level research in the physical and life sciences. The facility is used by over 3,000 academic and industrial researchers across a wide range of disciplines including structural biology, energy, engineering, nanoscience, and environmental sciences.

We are looking for writers with a scientific background to work on our Science Highlights. Whilst we welcome writers of any background, we have a particular interest in hearing from those with experience (writing or researching) in the following areas:

-          Molecular geology

-          Catalysis and chemistry in general

-          Molecular surfaces and interfaces (physical or biological)

-          Spintronics

To produce a Science Highlight, you will get to grips with a scientific paper, interview one or two of the authors, and provide a first draft with quotes (600-800 words) that summarises the research in our highlights format.

Diamond’s Science Highlights can be found here: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Science/Research/Highlights
