Description
The Environment Agency are seeking to identify a number of scientific editors and writers to support their writing needs. Most of the writing we do is to inform or to instruct, whether to businesses, internal audiences, other government departments or the general public. The information can be complex, technical or scientific, but it is vital that it is written in a way which our readers can understand and so helps us achieve our environmental outcomes.
We are looking for a small number of flexible technical editors who can work confidently across a range of environmental research subjects. The editorial work includes producing in-depth scientific reports for the academic sector and other bodies which provide the evidence base for our decisions, as well as consultation and decision documents aimed at the public.
We require people with a strong track record in science editing, proofreading and copywriting, across a range of products, such as:
⢠research summaries ⢠research reports ⢠technical and literature reviews ⢠consultation documents
At times, we also enlist the support of technical editors who use their expertise to help us communicate less technical outputs to more general audiences. This can include corporate documents, engagement materials or business plans.
Editors must be educated to degree level and/or possess a postgraduate degree (MSc or PhD), or have relevant postgraduate experience in chemistry, biology, geography, geology, hydrology, nuclear regulation or flood and coastal risk, or other related environmental subjects.
If you are interested in participating for this requirement, please register your interest by sending an email to:
[email protected] by 10am on Monday, 1st October 2018.
