Health Writer, SELF

We are seeking an experienced health writer and reporter with a strong background in science-based health and wellness content to join the SELF team. This writer will be responsible for publishing roughly 4 articles per week. We’re looking for someone who is highly skilled in both service journalism and health reporting, as this person will be responsible for writing content that is both medically accurate and voicey. This writer will produce the kind of health content that helps people live better—whether we’re helping our readers feel less alone or empowering them to make informed decisions about their health. The ideal candidate has a robust background in writing about complex health and wellness topics. You have strong scientific literacy and a deep understanding of what evidence and sourcing is necessary to accurately and fairly write about various health topics—from signs and symptoms condition content to nuanced service for people looking for the right therapist. You’re comfortable handling multiple stories at once, all in various stages of the writing process (planning the outline for one, scheduling interviews for another, reporting one, and writing another).
