Location(s): New York, Washington, DC or London – Hybrid Working
The Senior Desk Editor role at Scientific American will manage a small team of reporters working for both web and print to own our coverage of topics including but not limited to artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, corporate science and R&D, and the business of science. They will make sure we never miss an important story in the topic area, and work closely with reporters to help them succeed on their individual beats.
This editor will keep closely informed about developments in their topic area, and will generate a steady stream of creative and original coverage ideas. The editor will also assign and edit freelance stories, and contribute to our newsletter, social, and multimedia content. They will work with contributors that include working scientists and researchers, so they must be able to help non-professional writers craft well-written stories with voice and flair, and to explain complicated scientific topics. The editors may also occasionally report and write articles for web and print, as needed.
This editor will work closely with Scientific American's senior editors and other beat editors, and with the rest of the editorial staff including engagement editors and our photos, graphics and multimedia teams.
This role can be in our New York, Washington DC, or London offices on a hybrid working model.
