GenomeWeb News is looking for a journalist to join its daily news team.

In their JournalismJobs.com job listing, editors asked for a motivated reporter with a few years experience who can write quickly and clearly about breaking news in the areas of

genomics,
biotech research,
molecular diagnostics,
and other related fields.

The beat they are hiring for will require a mix of business, science, and technology reporting and editing. Applicants should have experience filing and/or editing stories under deadline in these areas. Some familiarity with the genomics field and personalized medicine would be desirable, though not necessary.

The successful candidates will cover the companies and organizations that develop, sell, and use instruments and reagents for genomics, proteomics, cell analysis, and molecular diagnostic applications. You will be filing breaking news in real time as well as longer enterprise pieces on a rolling deadline. In addition, you will be required to do some editing of other reporters’ articles.
