Genome Technology magazine is looking for a full-time reporter to break ground on an emerging beat in the genomics field. The right candidate will be a resourceful, ambitious self-starter who has a knack for cultivating sources, reporting from the inside, and breaking scoops.

A science or science writing background is a plus, but is not required.

Our readers are highly educated, time-crunched scientists who rely on us to keep up on news and trends in the systems biology field.
